This edition features seven mementos from Haryana, with sporting achievements forming a prominent part of the collection. Five items are sports-related, while others celebrate the state’s religious and cultural heritage.

Open for public bidding, these mementos carry stories of achievement and perseverance. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Namami Gange Project.

Celebrating Haryana’s Paralympic Champions

Among the featured items is an arrow presented by Harwinder Singh, who became the first Indian to win a Paralympic gold medal in archery. Two mementos are associated with Navdeep Singh, who won gold in the men’s F41 javelin throw event at the Paris 2024 Paralympics. His cap and signed shirt offer members of the public an opportunity to own keepsakes connected to this sporting achievement.

The collection also features an authentic Yonex badminton racket and India team shirt presented by Paralympic badminton gold medallist Nitesh Kumar. Together, these items represent Haryana’s contribution to India’s sporting achievements.

Haryana’s Religious and Cultural Heritage

Alongside the sporting memorabilia, the collection includes a metal statue of Goddess Sheetala Devi. Crafted from high quality metal, the statue features intricate detailing, with a lustrous finish that enhances its divine presence.

A souvenir commemorating the Gita Updesh Sthali of Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra reflecting Haryana’s association with the Bhagavad Gita also adorns the collection.

These seven mementos in the 8th edition of PM Mementos, bring together different facets of Haryana. The auction gives these gifts a larger public purpose, with the proceeds supporting the Namami Gange Project.
