Lumbini is one of the most influential Buddhist pilgrimage sites that draws pilgrims from around the world. We believe Mahamayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama here, who later on grew into the Buddha and started Buddhism. Mayadevi Temple is the sacred place where Buddha was born in the beautiful Sal grove, which is the focal point of the Lumbini Garden. See the beautiful monasteries, revere their astonished and distinct architecture, roam around the patio or ponder in the tranquil atmosphere. Do visit the Mayadevi Temple that dates back 2,200 years. Inscriptions on a sandstone illustrating the birth of Buddha is the focal point for pilgrims. You can also go to Panditarama Vipassana Center to meditate in peace, do yoga or meet up with the monks who live in the monasteries.
