Situated in the foothills of Himalayas in modern Nepal,
Lumbini is a small town and a famous Buddhists Pilgrimage.
Siddhartha Gautama, the Lord Buddha, born in 623 B.C.
and could both walk and talk at that time, was born in
the fascinating city of Lumbini, now a famous Pilgrimage
centre. It is believed that Buddha himself have identified
four places of future pilgrimage in the Parinibbana Sutta,
namely, the sites of his birth, enlightenment, first discourse
and death. All of these events occurred in open under
the trees. To experience the peace of this place, book

Now listed under the World Heritage Site, Lumbini's
geographical positioning was a matter of debate between
the Indian and Nepal Government for quite some time.
Now, two archaeologists from England's University of
Bradford have presented new evidence that Kapilavastu,
wherein lies Lumbini, is modern Tilaurakot, a Nepalese
town about 130 miles west of Kathmandu.
It is not often that when Buddha's name is mentioned,
King Ashoka's is not. In the sacred Gardens of Lumbini,
the birthplace of Buddha converges the Ashokan Pillar,
carrying the inscription identifying the spot as the
birthplace of Buddha. It is believed that Lord Buddha's
mother Maya Devi, while on her way to her parent's home
sat in the gardens to take rest and was convulsed by
pains immediately thus declaring the birth of a Great
Man. She gave birth while holding a drooping branch
of a Sal tree.
The Maya Devi Temple, Puskani Pond, Nepal Buddha Temple
