India is set to host 108 Buddhist pilgrims from South Korea celebrating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Ministry of Information and Broadcasting secretary Apurva Chandra on Monday announced that 108 Buddhist pilgrims from South Korea will walk over 1,100 km over a period of 43 days as part of a walking pilgrimage organised by the Sangwol Society of South Korea.

The slogan of the pilgrimage is ‘Oh, We! Oh, Love! Oh, Life!‘, the pilgrimage.
