Where Buddha was born Lumbini

Lumbini is a religious site located in Rupandehi District in southern Nepal a few kilometers from the border with India. Since 1997 it has been registered with UNESCO as a world heritage site with the merit of being a unique place and an exceptional testimony of a cultural tradition and an extraordinary architecture illustrating significant stages in human history.

Here, around the 6th century BC, Queen Maya gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama, who later became Gautama Buddha, and founded the Buddhist religion.
