Lumbini is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi District of Nepal. Lumbini has a number of temples, including the Mayadevi Temple and several others which are still under construction. Many monuments, monasteries and a museum - the Lumbini International Research Institute - are also located within the holy site. Also located there is the Puskarini or Holy Pond where the Buddha's mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he, too, had his first bath.
