world.Lumbini today houses the pond
where Buddha was bathed after he was
born and a temple which has images
of young Buddha with his
mother.There is also a Stone pillar
which is one of such many pillars
put by the famous Indian emperor
Ashoka to mark the important sites
related to Buddha's life.In an
