India to host 108 Buddhist pilgrims from South Korea

India is set to host 108 Buddhist pilgrims from South Korea celebrating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries. The Ministry of Culture announced the pilgrimage, stating the step would help the country stall the growing Chinese Buddhist philosophy and its influence in the region.

The tourists will visit Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India and subsequently move to Nepal.
