For the first time, relics of Buddha Shakyamuni arrive in Kalmykia from India

We are glad to inform you, dear believers, that tomorrow, on October 11, the relics of Buddha Shakyamuni arrive in Kalmykia from India for the first time. On this day the Central Khurul will be closed to visitors. But starting from October 12 it will already be possible to behold the relics.
