N. Chowdhry,<\/p>\n<p>Major Findings of Excavations:<\/p>\n<p>The excavations revealed important Buddhist structures and relics that stand testimony to the flourishing of Buddhism in western India during the early centuries of the Common Era.<\/p>\n<p>Relic casket: The relic casket found within Devnimori Stupa at a height of 24 feet from the base, made out of green schist.<\/p>\n<p>It is inscribed in Brahmi Script and Sanskrit language, it reads. \u201cdashabala sharira nilay\u201d &#8211; the abode of the Buddha\u2019s bodily relic.<\/p>\n<p>It holds a copper box having organic matter with holy ashes, with silk cloth and beads.<\/p>\n<p>Copper box: The copper box had a flat top and base with a slipon lid fitting onto a rim ledge, and contained silk cloth, a gold coated silver-copper bottle, organic material with holy ashes, and black clay used as covering.<\/p>\n<p>The small amphora-like gold coated bottle had a sagger base, cylindrical body, and a narrow neck with a screw-type lid.<\/p>\n<p>Desiccator: The desiccator now houses the Holy Relics. It is sealed in an air-tight glass to prevent further deterioration of the object inside.<\/p>\n<p>Hence option (d) is the correct answer.<\/p>\n<p>News: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2222243&amp;reg=3&amp;lang=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2222243&#038;reg=3&#038;lang=1<\/a><\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        \n                        \n                                                <input type=\"button\" name=\"back\" value=\"Back\"\n                               class=\"wpProQuiz_button wpProQuiz_QuestionButton\"\n                               style=\"float: left !important; margin-right: 10px !important; display: none;\">\n                                                <input type=\"button\" name=\"check\" value=\"Check\"\n                               class=\"wpProQuiz_button wpProQuiz_QuestionButton\"\n                               style=\"float: right !important; margin-right: 10px !important; display: none;\">\n                        <input type=\"button\" name=\"next\" value=\"Next\"\n                               class=\"wpProQuiz_button wpProQuiz_QuestionButton\" style=\"float: right; display: none;\">\n\n                        <div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n\n                                                    <div style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n                        \n                    <\/li>\n\n                                    <li class=\"wpProQuiz_listItem\" style=\"display: none;\">\n                        <div\n                            class=\"wpProQuiz_question_page\" style=\"display:none;\" >\n                            Question <span>10<\/span> of <span>10<\/span>                        <\/div>\n                        <h5 style=\"display: inline-block;\"\n                            class=\"wpProQuiz_header\">\n                            <span>10<\/span>.
