Explanation:

Buddhism largely disappeared from most of India with the Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent, surviving in the Himalayan regions and south India.
• In India, Xuanzang visited all the sacred sites connected with the life of the Buddha, and he journeyed along the east and west coasts of the subcontinent.
• He translated the scriptures of Buddhism from Sanskrit into Chinese and provided a record of his travels in Central Asia and India, which, has been of inestimable value to historians and archaeologists in discovering Buddhism in India.
• The Government of India received the relics of Ven. Xuanzang along with an endowment for the construction of the Xuanzang Memorial Hall and some Chinese Buddhist texts, from the Chinese Government in Nava NalandaMahavihara, Nalanda.
