Option 1 : Lumbini's column

  • Lumbini is the birthplace of Buddha located on the Indo-Nepal border.
  • This is the fourth main site, apart from Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar, related to the life of Buddha.
  • Lumbini became a major Buddhist shrine after the Mahaparinirvana of Buddha.
  • Emperor Ashoka arrived here in 249 BC.
  • During this journey, Emperor Ashoka waived 87.5 per cent of Lagni village from Lumbini village, i.e. 1/ 8th of total production as rent and waived the remaining.
