Nepal: Lumbini

---

01/10 to 02/10: Lumbini

This place is a pilgrimage for Buddhist. Birth place of Siddhartha Gautama better known as the Buddha, this is a peaceful site. The Maya Devi Temple marks the exact pot where the Buddha was given birth but no pics are allowed. Around is a Bodhi Tree decorated with prayer flags pying homage to the Lord Buddha.

The entire zone has designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange in 1978 and it is a work in progress as Unesco want Lumbini to be the World Peace Center. Therefore a lot of Monasteries from different countries are been build.

All over the garden, one can find inspiring and philosophical sentences from the Dalai Lama.
