US Returns Over 1,400 Priceless Antiquities to India

In a monumental step towards reclaiming India's cultural heritage, the United States has announced the return of over 1,400 antiquities, worth millions of dollars, to India. These artefacts, spanning centuries of history, were either stolen or illicitly trafficked. Among the returned treasures are a magnificent sandstone sculpture from Madhya Pradesh and the revered Tanesar mother goddess figure from Rajasthan.

Under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Government of India remains committed to safeguarding and celebrating our rich cultural identity. This historic repatriation highlights India's unwavering dedication to restoring its ancient legacy and underscores the success of cultural diplomacy in preserving our heritage.
