Specialists from Tibet are coming to Republic Altai to study  hidden Buddhist spiritual treasures, or terma of the earth, which were found there in 2002 in a cave.

On Sunday of 24 April they will research in Barnaul these cultic objects, which have been kept for all these years at the building of  the Ongudai district administration of Republic Altai, to identify them and to come to an expert opinion.

Among the objects found in the Ongudai district, beside the terma texts, are rosaries, a bell, two vajras (a sacred weapon of Hindu and Buddhist mythology), fabric for wrapping the book, with a buckle in a vajra form, and two figures of lions or celestial dogs.

These discovered treasures have a great scientific value and can help to study the spread of Buddhism in Gornyi Altai, as the ministry of tourism of Republic Altai believes.
