This WHS is located in Lumbini province, named after the same gardens where Siddhartha Gautama, the Lord Buddha, was born in 623 BCE. The site soon developed into a place of pilgrimage, being one of the holiest places of one of the largest religions in the world. Within the site are archaeological remains of places of worship and pilgrimage, including the Ashoka pillar (erected in 249 BCE), erected, inscribed, and named after one of the most famous pilgrims, the Mauryan emperor Ashoka. Today, the site is being developed as a Buddhist pilgrimage centre.
