Abstract
The reliquary along with an inscribed lid is found in 1982 at the Buddhist stupa of Marjanai in the Swat Valley. These days, the analyses of the relics and the inscriptions inscribed upon them, have become an interesting field of study. Here the main purpose of the study is to bring to limelight the inscription and identify the name of the person, possibly whose relics it contained and to provide further an opportunity to the researcher to study & analyse the contents of the relics and find out further information in the historical records about the local rulers.
