Buddha's Birthplace

Buddha’s birthplace is Lumbini, located in present-day Nepal. It is considered a sacred site because it is traditionally believed to be the exact location where Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha, was born around the 6th century BCE. The site features a prominent ancient Maya Devi Temple, surrounded by monasteries, gardens, and archaeological remains. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lumbini attracts pilgrims and visitors worldwide, serving as a place of reflection and spiritual significance in Buddhism, symbolizing the origins of the Buddha’s enlightened teachings.
