Lumbini is one of the most important religious places in the world. It is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. It is a sacred site for Buddhists, as it is home to many ancient temples dating as far back as the 5th century BCE. Indian Emperor Ashoka built a pillar called Ashoka Pillar<\/a> in the 3rd century, and it is considered one of the oldest monuments made that still stands today in Nepal. Other landmarks in Lumbini include \u2013 The Mayadevi temple, The World Peace Pagoda, Ranighat Palace, Royal Thai Monastery, Myanmar Golden Monastery, Dae Sung Sakya, etc. These temples have been renovated many times due to deterioration.\u00a0It has been enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 AD.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
