India Welcomes Home Stolen Idols as Jaishankar Strengthens UK Ties

External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar attended the repatriation ceremony of two stolen 8th-century temple idols in London, marking a significant milestone in India's efforts to reclaim its cultural heritage. The idols, Yogini Chamunda and Yogini Gomukhi, were stolen from a temple in Uttar Pradesh's Lokhari in the 1970s. Their repatriation is a testament to the growing bilateral partnership between India and the UK.
