Over two thousand years ago the Great Buddha was born in the foothills of the Himalayas at Lumbini as the son of Suddhodana king of the Sahya clan and queen Mahamaya. In his youth, he lived a life of affluence as a prince, but eventually renounced all worldly pleasures seeking after the 'Noble Path' and the 'Eternal Truth' that leads to the 'Salvation' of the mankind and which is the very essence
of Buddhism. A rich and dense fabric woven out of many strands, the page traces the life history of Buddha in his footsteps, during years of his life, from his birth in Lumbini to his Mahaparinirvana in Kushinagar and all other important spots linked either with his life or with his teachings.
