Lumbini, located in the In Rupandehi district, Lumbini Province of Nepal, is the sacred birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became Lord Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lumbini holds immense spiritual, cultural, and historical significance.
According to Buddhist tradition, Queen Maya Devi gave birth to Prince Siddhartha in the beautiful gardens of Lumbini around 623 BCE while on her way to her ancestral home. The site still houses the Maya Devi Temple, marking the Buddha’s birthplace, along with ancient ruins, stupas, and monasteries built over the centuries.
A stone pillar erected by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE is historical evidence of Lumbini’s authenticity. Surrounding the temple area, the Lumbini Development Area includes serene monasteries, meditation centers, and the Peace Flame, a symbol of universal harmony, built by various Buddhist nations.
Today, Lumbini is not only a pilgrimage site but also a symbol of peace, compassion, and wisdom, attracting tourists from around the world seeking spiritual inspiration and tranquility.
