Lumbini, located in the Rupandehi District of Nepal, is revered as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who became known as Buddha, making it one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in Buddhism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Believed to be where Queen Maya Devi gave birth to the Buddha in 623 BCE, Lumbini has attracted millions of visitors and spiritual seekers for over two millennia.
