“Visuals of 1 lakh people converting to Buddhism at an event held in Jaipur on 16 October 2022”
What FACTLY found
There is no news about such a mass conversion event anywhere in Jaipur recently. Also, the pictures shared in the viral post belong to “Dhamma Mela”, organised by Indian Buddhist Mahasabha on the occasion of 66th Dhamma chakra Pravartan Day concluded on 15 October 2022 at Pimpri-chinchwad near Pune, Maharashtra. Though several Buddhist conversions are reported on this occasion, no such event was held in Jaipur recently
