1 The Maya Devi temple stands on the exact spot of Buddha’s birthplace in Lumbini.2 A statue of Buddha on the grounds of Lumbini.3 The ruins of the east gate of the palace which Buddha left at the age of 29 to embark on his spiritual journey.

Buddha achieved enlightenment in Bodhgaya, gave his first sermon in Sarnath, and died in Kusinara. For me, my Buddha trail has just begun.

Anyone who set foot on the grounds of Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautama Buddha, will instantly feel the aura of a holy place.
