Photography: Photos from Lumbini

Day 32, Kathmandu, Nepal

Hello Everybody. Welcome to another session of my blog.  Today I am going to share some photos that I have captured during our visit to Lumbini of Nepal. The birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha. The site also listed on UNESCO's World Heritage Site.

As of the text written on the board placed on the site, "Lord Buddha, the symbol of peace and the light of Asia was born here in Lumbini in 623 B. C.".  In 2.56 sq. km Sacred Garden, there situated Ashokan Pillar, Mayadevi Temple, Puskarni - the Sacred Pool, temples, Monasteries and stupas constructed by many countries. The forest and wetland habitat harbor about 200 rare blue bulls and 250 bird species.  

We got opportunity to observe many more heritage things there. In addition, we felt very the peace in our internal body and mind visiting there.

There are many more thing to capture for the photographers. Here are some of the photos. Enjoy…

Please leave a comment below if you have any. Thank you.
