The Kapilavastu district of Nepal contains a number of Buddhist temples that draw scores of pilgrims throughout the year. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Lumbini however, is eternally sacred as the presumed birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the Buddha Gautama. At the foothills of the Himalayas, near the border of India, points of interest in Lumbini include ancient ruins and the Mayadevi temple where the Buddha was apparently born.
