lumbini: birth place of lord buddha


Lumbini is the birth place of Lord Buddha, founder of Buddhism which is situated in Kapilvastu district. Ashok pillar, Mayadevi Temple, and other historical and religious temple are the main attraction of this place. There is a pond near by the Mayadevi temple where it is said that Buddha’s mother; Mayadevi had her first bath after giving birth to Siddhartha Gautam. Lumbini is the sacred place and holy place of Nepal which is listed under World heritage of Nepal. Many visitors from within the country and from abroad visit this place. Now-a-days there are various other temples within the Lumbini periphery constructed by foreign countries of Asia and Europe which are the point of attraction for the visitors.
But now-a-days India is claiming that Lumbini was originally of theirs and to prove this they are constructed a similar so named Lumbini in India. And this conflict has become one of the major issues in the international society. If our Lumbini is protected and preserved then it is a major source to fame our country as well earn a lot of revenue.
