Most visitors to Nepal do not know that the birthplace of Buddha is actually in Nepal, not in India. Lumbini, in the southern region and close to India, is the real birthplace of Buddha.
A very important spiritual center and pilgrimage site, Lumbini is home to large monasteries that come from all over the world to celebrate the Buddha's teachings and life.
Monasteries and temples often reflect and are created by countries' particular design style, art, sculpture and other related religious artifacts celebrated in their country, creating a unique representation of the Buddha and his teachings.
This makes the experience of visiting Lumbini and seeing all these temples, monasteries and landmarks dedicated to Buddha from around the world a fascinating visit, with so many different ways of how Buddha is represented.
