Lumbini in Nepal is the birth place of Buddha. 'Born in 623 B.C. in the famous gardens of Lumbini, which soon became a place of pilgrimage. Among the pilgrims was the Indian emperor Ashoka, who erected one of his commemorative pillars there. The site is now being developed as a Buddhist pilgrimage centre, where the archaeological remains associated with the birth of the Lord Buddha form a central feature' (UNESCO).

We spent the day visiting the garden and the various interpretation of temples by other countries. The following photos are not of the garden, those will come along later. However here I posted the people encountered during the day we visited this garden. We got hungry of course and so did most of these kids.

We were the centre of attraction that day, with a lot of teenagers asking shyly to take a selfie with us...
