TEMPLE DE MAYA DEVI
Go there and contact
The temple of Maya Devi, the mother of the Buddha, is the spiritual center of Lumbini. Built on the site where Maya Devi gave birth, it features a series of ancient ruins (2,200 years old) currently being excavated. A sandstone sculpture depicting the birth of Buddha, donated by King Ripu Malla in the 14th century, is now the object of devotion by the faithful. In front of the temple stands the column dedicated to Buddha by the Indian emperor Ashoka, who visited Lumbini in 249 BC. Standing 6 m high and made of pink sandstone, it is easy to spot.
