About Lumbini
Lumbini, the birthplace of Loard Buddha , is situated 250 km south- west of Kathmandu or 30 km away from Bhirahawa. A stone pillar known as 'Asoka Pillar' was erected in 249 BC by Indian Emperor Asoka, proclaimed that the Buddha was born there. Lumbini's status as a garden of peace has been recognized by the world and different countries and trusts are undertaking it's development. The most important part of Lumbini is the temple of Maya Devi. It is has a stone image of Maya Devi giving birth to Loard Buddha as she holds onto a branch. To the south of the temple is a pool where Queen Divi is said to have bathed and given her son his first purification bath.
Around an hour drive north-west from Lumbini reaches the interesting archeological site of Tilaurikot. This has been identified as the ancient Kapilvastu, the capital of King Suddhodhan, Buddh's father, where Loard Buddha himself as Prince siddharth had spent the first 29 years of his life.
