Lumbini is one of the world's most sacred places, the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) in approximately 563 BCE. The Maya Devi Temple marks the exact spot of his birth, validated by the Ashoka Pillar erected in 249 BCE. The Sacred Garden surrounding the site contains excavated ruins of ancient monasteries and is flanked by the Monastic Zone, a modern complex of monasteries representing Buddhist nations from across the world, making Lumbini one of the world's most remarkable religious landscapes.
