THE PLACE :

Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, was located in 1890 after being untraced for 1,500 years.

Three hundred years after the Mahaparinirvana, Emperor Ashoka visited Lumbini and erected a pillar there. This pillar, though broken, still remains at the site. It is known as the Rummendei Pillar after the earlier name of the place (modern name Rupandhei)in Nepal.
