The eighth edition of the PM Mementoes e-auction has been extended until October 31, allowing citizens more time to participate in the online bidding process.
The auction features 30 mementoes representing different aspects of Delhi, including its cultural, religious and institutional heritage.
The wider 2026 auction features gifts and artefacts presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi from across the country. The proceeds will be directed towards the Namami Gange Project.
The Delhi collection comprises nine photo frames, nine other mementoes and six idols, sculptures and statues. It features two Delhi Metro models, a sports memorabilia item, a painting and various art and craft pieces.
The collection brings together devotional objects, handcrafted works and representations of important institutions and landmarks.
Several pieces reflect India’s religious traditions. Four mementoes depict Lord Ram or scenes associated with the Ramayana, including a Ram Darbar sculpture, a brass plaque showing Ram, Sita and Lakshman crossing a river with Kevat, a painting of Saint Dada Dev from Palam village and a carved wooden statue of Ram Lalla.
Another item represents the eight auspicious Buddhist symbols, known as Ashtamangala, which carry spiritual significance in Buddhist tradition.
The collection showcases Delhi’s institutional heritage. A framed artwork depicts St Stephen’s College, while a crystal representation of the Old Secretariat and a textile artwork featuring the New Parliament Building highlight different aspects of the capital’s public architecture.
Among the notable pieces is a detailed pencil portrait of Prime Minister Narendra Modi created by a student from Rohini.
The collection features the discus of Paralympic silver medallist Yogesh Kathuniya and the NCC’s gold-polished Param Vir Mati Kalash.
A portrait created on a natural, skeletonised Bodhi leaf adds an artistic element to the collection.
The PM Mementoes e-auction is being conducted through the official portal, where citizens can view the catalogue and participate in bidding.
The auction proceeds will support the Namami Gange Project.
