MONUMENTS OF LUMBINI
Lumbini
Garden changed into a pilgrimage site soon after the Mahaparinirvana of
the Lord Buddha. A monastic site evolved around the sacred spot of the
Buddha's birth. The birth-spot being the most important point in the
whole of the holy land of Lumbini drew attention of generous devotees
who erected structures to pay homage to the great master. These
constructions were of religious nature along the religious complex and a
civic settlement emerged to meet the growing need of the religious
community visiting or living in the holy complex.
