During the last vacation, we went on a journey to Lumbini the birthplace of Lord Buddha. I went there with my parents. We started our journey from Nepalgunj at 6.30 am. We reach at there at 5.00 pm travelling Butwal and Bhairahawa.
As it was already dark and we were too much tired because of a whole day journey, we looked for a good hotel nearby. We found a hotel and had a rest after dinner. We got up in the morning, had a bath. It was the month of Mansir so the weather there was pleasant. We set to visit the important things and places of Lumbini. First, we went to Mayadevi temple. The temple was recently reconstructed. It was looking very beautiful. There was a long queue for pray. We also queued ourselves in the line. After sometime our turn came. We pray Mayadevi and Lord Buddha. There were many pictures on the wall of the temple, related to Buddha’s life. We observed them interestingly.
There was a famous pillar near the temple. It was made by great emperor Asoka of India in 250 B.C. There was something carved on the pillar but we could not read them as they were carved in traditional language. Then we went to visit the monasteries made by different countries. There are many monasteries made by China, Sri-Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. They look very beautiful. We saw various art and architecture of different countries in the monasteries. After observation of the monasteries, we went to visit sacred garden. It was very peaceful. We went to see the ‘Flame of Peace’ near a large pond. It is said that it never goes out. Then we walked around the large surroundings of Lumbini.
We had completely exhausted by then. We came back to our room and looked the pictures that we took. Next day in the morning, we returned back to home.
