On January 5, 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered his annual Epiphany address during the traditional Galette ceremony at the Élysée Palace. Upholding the republican tradition introduced under Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, the “Galette of Equality” was served without a fève or crown, symbolizing that there can be no “king” in the Republic—even for a day. In his speech, President Macron paid tribute to France’s finest bakers and pastry chefs, with this year’s giant galette crafted by Jean-Yves Boullier of “Le Moulin.” A key highlight was his call for French bistros to be recognized as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, underlining their role in social cohesion and the French art of living. The ceremony took place amid a packed national and diplomatic agenda, including a Council of Ministers briefing and meetings with international leaders. #Macron #FrancePolitics #Epiphany2026 #GaletteDesRois #ElyseePalace #FrenchHeritage #UNESCOHeritage #FrenchBistros #ArtisanBakery #FrenchCulture #RepublicanTradition #EuropeanPolitics #WorldNews #LeadershipSpeech ------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Amaravati Today, AT World News channel and tap the bell icon to receive notifications whenever we go live https://www.youtube.com/@atnewsroom #atworldnews #atworld #AmaravatiToday Source/Courtesy: French Government

For the first time since their discovery in 1898, the sacred Piprahwa relics—repatriated after 127 years—are reunited with authentic Buddhist relics and archaeological treasures preserved at the National Museum, New Delhi, and the Indian Museum, Kolkata. The exhibition features over 80 rare objects dating from the 6th century BCE to the present, including sacred gem relics from the Peppé family collection, ancient sculptures, manuscripts, thangkas, and the original monolithic stone coffer. Organised around five thematic sections inspired by the Sanchi Stupa, the exposition highlights India’s enduring Buddhist legacy.
