Pushkarni – The Sacred Pool

According to belief it is the same pool in which Maya devi had a bath before giving birth to Buddha and it was here that infant lord Buddha had his first purification bath. Thus it is believed to be sacred.
The Buddhist Temple has been built inside the surrounding complex of Lumbini with a prayer ha;; containing large image of Buddha and with murals decorated on wall.
Enchanting the place is long lines of colorful prayer flags which are strung on tree. Written on them are prayers and mantras which flap in the breeze.
Other places to visit when visiting Lumbini is Kapilvastu Aaarkot, Gotihawa, Kudan and Niglihawa.
