FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Subject: New Archival and Historical Findings Concerning a Tradition-Associated Buddha Tooth Relic in Myanmar
Ayuttaya,Thailand – On this auspicious Vesak Full Moon Day, The Office of Siridantamahāpālaka (Hswagata Buddha Tooth Relics Preservation Private Museum) officially announces a highly significant academic and archival finding regarding a tradition-associated Buddha Tooth Relic currently venerated in Myanmar.
Following years of rigorous documentary research, cross-referencing Pāli canonical texts, and analyzing colonial-era archaeological records, our institutional research has established a direct archival correlation between this sacred relic and the historic Manikyala Stupa (The Great Tope) in the ancient Gandhāra region.
According to our official Case Study Report (Registry Code: STUPA-1830-001), morphological assessments and historical transmission data strongly align this relic with the nested reliquary systems discovered during the 1830 CE excavations led by General Ventura and Claude Auguste Court.
Academic and Institutional Stance:
This announcement is made strictly within the framework of historical transmission, archival continuity, and institutional relic custodianship. It is an academic and documentary interpretation intended to bridge the gap between faith-based veneration and modern archaeological science. It does not seek to invalidate other traditions or claim absolute biological proof, but rather to ensure transparent, peaceful, and systematic preservation of Buddhist heritage.
The full academic monograph and the complete archival registry report are now available for scholarly review and public access via our digital archives.
DIGITAL ARCHIVAL ACCESS & VERIFICATION
