Lumbini is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi District of
Nepal. It is the place where, according to Buddhist tradition, Queen
Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama in 563 BCE. Gautama, who
achieved Enlightenment some time around 528 BCE,[3][4] became the
Gautama Buddha and founded Buddhism. Lumbini is one of many magnets for
pilgrimage that sprang up in places pivotal to the life of Gautama
Buddha.
