Summary

Volunteers in Gelephu, Bhutan, built 108 Buddhist stupas along the Mao Chhu river in a single day, part of Project 108 for the Gelephu Mindfulness City. Reports put the volunteer count at about 40,000 and attendance at about 200,000, and give differing build durations and start times. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck dedicated stupa 76 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing India-Bhutan friendship. Devotees gathered at night holding glowing lights and offering prayers at the stupas, and volunteers saw the stupas completed. The stupas are to be filled with prayers, blessings, relics and spiritual texts.
