Various jackets along with portraits of the Prime Minister, 576 shawls, 964 angavastrams, 88 pagris and various other artworks   gifted to Narendra Modi in the past six months would go under the hammer in an e-auction starting September 14.

Union Culture Minister Prahlad Singh Patel said on Wednesday that the auction will continue till  October 3 on the portal www.pmmementos.gov.in.

Prices for the artefacts will range from Rs 200 to Rs 2.5 lakh as base prices and are currently on display in the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in the national capital.

Gifts and the proceeds would go towards the government's Namame Gange project, Patel said.

Overall, there are a total of 2,772 objects, including portraits of  Modi, artworks, turbans, shawls, swords, figurines of cows and religious idols. These will be available for at least a month in the e-auction, the minister said.

Patel added that the objects displayed at the NGMA would be changed every 15 days. "The reserve price set for the objects starts at Rs 20  and goes up to

Rs 2.50 lakh for a silk print with the Prime Minister's face," he said.

While most gifts that will be auctioned have been given to the Prime Minister by Indians, ranging from political leaders to religious groups to industry, there are a handful of objects gifted by countries in the neighbourhood, an NGMA official said.

This would be the second such e-auction of gifts given to Modi organised by

the Union Culture Ministry, the last one being from January 27 to February 9.
