"Does any of us even know what he was like, as a child? What were the influences that shaped his thinking as a youth? We know the leader and his school of thought, but little do we know how a beautiful person he was from within," Agrawal said.
"It is also an ideal watch for the younger generation who might not be aware of the in-depth life that Buddha had lead and how his ideologies and values can enhance a human being's life," he said.
