Lord Buddha was born at Lumbini while his mother was on her way
to parental home from Kapilvastu.
Maya Devi, queen of King Shuddhodhan of Kapilavastu gave birth
to prince of Kapilvastu, Gautam, under a tree. King Shuddhodhan
(Gautam's father, the king of Kapilvastu) had been warned in
advance by the astrologers that eventually the prince might
chose spirituality to Kingdom. So the King tried every way to
stop this outcome but in vain. The greatest preacher of
humanity, Lord Buddha had been destined to be enlightened and
show the world a better way of living.
The place is a blessed one for its serenity and the natural
beauty, purely coinciding to the perception of a place where the
legend was born. One of the Parinirvana places for Buddha, this
place houses some of the best reminders of Lord Buddha.
Prominent among the structures is the Maya Devi temple and the
structures built by Ashoka later on.
The place itself is interesting as a whole, the landscapes and
the green forestry complementing its quiet ambience. However,
Maya Devi temple and the Stupas and the Pillar built by Ashoka
are really worth a visit.
Maya Devi Temple - the temple is famous for the Maya
Devi's statue, an exotic representation of the Buddha's days of
puberty. Excavated after the discovery of a stupa by a German
archaeologist, in 1895, the temple is built gradually and is
composed of many temples, one after the other. It is also found
that there is possibility that a Ashoka Stupa existed in the
place of temple. The Maya Devi statue is splendid for its
architectural beauty and the way it represents the childhood of
Buddha.
The Ashokan pillar - The Ashokan Pillar, essentially
erected by Ashoka is also a piece of great art, with the horse
at the top of pillar, it makes a great view and represents an
ancient story related to the Buddhist tales.
The puskarni - The literal meaning of Puskarni is pond,
and this pond in the southern direction of the Ashokan Pillar is
a scared one. It is said that Mayadevi took a holy dip in the
pond, just before the birth of Lord Buddha.
The Buddhist monastery - Its built in the way of the modern
Buddhist temples of Nepal but is quite important in the purview
of architecture of the walls. The middle hall contains some
exquisite murals resembling the medieval periods'.
Kapilvastu - A holy destination related deeply with the
life of a legend, Lord Buddha, eventually Kapilvastu is the
place where Lord Buddha had lived the childhood and the days of
teenage, in complete luxury. The capital of King Shuddhodhan,
Kapilvastu still carries with it the mystic charm. It houses
many sculptures of Buddhism, which present a landscape before
that visitors that makes them feel calm, content. Kapilvastu
carries the visitors away to the ancient days when Buddha was a
small child, a prince. The place is situated 27 km south of
Lumbini.
