Nepal houses a large number of sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites and heritage centers. So Nepal is naturally a center of world interest of the Buddhists of the world and subject of pride and honor for all Buddhist Community of the world.

The presence of majestic Lumbini is situated at the foothills of the Himalayas in modern Nepal. In the Buddha's time, Lumbini was a beautiful garden full of green and shady Sal trees (Shorea). The garden and its tranquil environs were owned by both the Shakyas and Kolias clans. King Suddhodana, father of Gautama Buddha was of the Shakya dynasty belonging to the Kshatriya or the warrior caste.

Maya Devi, his mother, gave birth to the child on her way to her parent's home in Devadaha while taking rest in Lumbini under a sal tree in the month of May in the year 642 B.C. The beauty of Lumbini is described in Pali and Sanskrit literature. Maya Devi it is said was spellbound to see the natural grandeur of Lumbini. While she was standing, she felt labor pains and catching hold of a drooping branch of a Sal tree, the baby, the future Buddha, was born.

Swoyambhu Stupa, Boudha Nath Stupa along with Charumati Stupa, Jamacho Stupa, Vajrayogini Temple, Mahaboudha Monastery and several small and big chaityas and Buddhist monuments, viharas and temples of ancient times in Nepal in abundance have turned Nepal into a distinct world Buddhist pilgrimage center of great archeological and historical value and religious significance.
