At the urging of Jinavaravansa, a Siamese Monk who arrived at Piprahwa soon after the discovery, the bone relics from Peppe´s excavation were offered by the government of India to the King of Siam, who shared them with buddhist communities in other countries.
Today, the relics from the original and the 1970s excavations of the Piprahwa stupa are revered by many Buddhists the world over.
