PM Narendra Modi inspecting the antiquities
29 antiquities have been repatriated to India by Australia. This move by Australia comes on the day when Prime Minister Modi and and his Australian counterpart Prime Minister Scott Morrison are scheduled to hold a virtual meeting.
The antiquities belong to different themes such as Lord Shiva and his disciples, Worshipping Shakti, Lord Vishnu and his forms, Jain tradition and other portraits and decorative objects.
The earliest of these antiquities date back to 9-10th century CE.
The antiquities are from several different parts of the country, including - West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Rajasthan.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally inspected these antiquities when they returned from Australia.
In a video uploaded by PM Modi's youtube account we can see some of these antiquities.

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
