Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had decided to reduce the entrance fee to the New Delhi National Museum for Sri Lankans after taking into the consideration that a large number of Sri Lankans were visiting the museum to pay homage to the Kapilavastu Relics.


In pursuance of the Prime Minister’s announcement, the entry fee to the National Museum for Sri Lankan nationals has been reduced and brought on par with the fee paid by Indian nationals.  


The new rates will come into effect from April 1, 2015.  


Sri Lankans will thereafter have to pay a nominal entry fee,( INR 10 against INR 300 currently charged from them) to view the rich and varied collection at the New Delhi National Museum.  Sri Lanka is the only country to be accorded this special status.
