"Siddhartha Gautama, the Lord Buddha, was 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." -http://whc.unesco.org
