Lumbini situated south west of Nepal.
Lumbini is the hallowed birthplace of Buddha. The Buddha The main attraction at
Lumbini is the sacred Garden that is spread over 8 sq km and possess all the
treasures of the historic area. The Mayadevi temple, currently under renovation,
is the main attraction for pilgrims and archeologist alike. This is where we
find a bass relief if Mayadevi, the Buddha's mother, giving birth to him as two
Hindus gods shower him with lotus petals and holy water. Shakyamuni Buddha was
born in Lumbini, in southern Nepal, twenty five hundred years ago. Lumbini has
since been a holy ground for Buddhist all over all the world. The restored
garden and remain a the many of the ancient stupas and monasteries. A large
stone pillar erected by the Indian Emperor Ashoka in 250 BC bears an inscription
about the birth of the Buddha. An important part of Lumbini is the temple of
Mayadevi giving birth to lord Buddha, As she holds into a branch. It has been
well worn by the strokes of the barren women hoping for fertility. To the south
of the temple is a pool where queen Mayadevi is said to have bathed and given
her son his purification bath. A quiet garden, shaded by the leafy 30 trees (the
type of under which Buddha received enlightment) and newly planted forest near
by lord an air of tranquility which bespeaks Buddhas teachings.
An important archeological
site near Lumbini, Kapilvastu evokes the ancient place where lord Buddha spent
his formative years. Scattered foundations of the palace are abundant and
archaeologist has by now discovered 13 successive layers of human habitation
dating back to the eight century BC. A must for archaeological are historical
bufts. Besides its religious and historical significance, Lumbini offers culture
insights in to the villager of life of southern Nepal
