Lumbini, nestled in Nepal’s Rupandehi District, cradles profound significance. It is the exact spot where Queen Maya gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama—later known as the Buddha—around 623 BCE. The Mayadevi Temple marks this sacred event. Monuments, including the Ashoka Pillar, dot the landscape. The Holy Pond, Puskarini, whispers ancient rituals. UNESCO recognizes Lumbini as a World Heritage Site.

Kathmandu, Nepal: Swayambhu Mahachaitya (meaning 'self-sprung'), a Buddhist temple complex on a hill in western Kathmandu - along with Borobudur in Java, Swayambhunath is considered one of the oldest Buddhist temple complexes in the world. The age of the internal buildings is estimated to be around 2,500 years. It is the most sacred pilgrimage site for Buddhist Newars and the second most sacred site for Tibetan Buddhists. The dominant element of the temple complex is the Buddhist stupa with the painted eyes. The Eyes of Buddha are painted on all four sides of the harmika (cube at the top of the stupa) to symbolize the Buddha's wisdom seeing all things in all four cardinal directions. The nose symbol stands for Nirvana, the small circle is the 'third eye' of Buddha, symbol of spiritual awakening of knowledge and wisdom. The thirteen steps above the harmika symbolize the thirteen states of Bodhisattva's ground for the enlightenment or “Bodhi”.
