Lumbini is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, who lived 2600 years ago. It is a sacred area for Buddhists as well as those who care deeply about peace and humanity. Buddhists from all over the world (mostly from Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand) dream of landing their feet inside Lumbini and bowing their heads before the sacred birthplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many antique stupas and monasteries may be found in Lumbini’s restored park and surrounds. An inscription about the birth of the Buddha can be seen on a massive stone pillar erected by the Indian Emperor Ashoka about 250 BC. The Maya Devi temple is an essential component of Lumbini<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya Devi giving birth to Lord Buddha<\/a> while holding onto a branch is depicted in stone. The strokes of barren women seeking for fertility have worn it down. Lumbini (Buddha’s Birthplace), Kapilvastu (Siddhartha’s palatial hometown), Devdaha (Mayadevi’s Maternal Hometown), and Ramagrama (where Buddha’s relics were housed) make up the Greater Lumbini Buddhist Circuit. One can visit Lumbini to see the sites that are significant in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Buddha was alive, he visited Lumbini and Kapilvastu, and his relics (ashes) were housed in a stupa on Ramagrama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumbini, in addition to its religious and historical significance, provides cultural insights into southern Nepalese village life. If at all possible, time your visit to coincide with the weekly Monday bazaar, when villagers from all over come to buy grains, spices, ceramics, jewelry, saris, and other products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With colorful items set out under the mango trees and the air fragrant with incense, it could be a scene from the Arabian Nights. It’s a chance to haggle for souvenirs while seeing Lumbini’s native life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
