Understand

Transport yourself back to ancient times, to the sacred park of Lumbini, located in Kapilavastu, Nepal. It was in this very park that the illustrious Buddha took his first breath. At the exact spot he was born, an enduring pillar stands tall, commemorating the momentous visit of the great Emperor Asoka. This pillar is a testament to the shared reverence and gratitude of the people who faithfully maintained the park throughout history. Previously known as Rummindei, situated just two miles north of Bhagavanpura, Lumbini holds a significant place in the hearts of those who seek enlightenment. It is within the hallowed grounds of Lumbini where the Buddha resided during his visit to Devadaha and delivered his awe-inspiring teachings in the Devadaha Sutta.
