It is very amusing sometimes to see religious scriptures and records have being twisted by various fractions with time. One such notable occurrence in Buddhism is the birthplace of Gauthama Buddha who was then called Price Siddhartha. India has claimed from the early days that Buddha was born in India. There are lot of books, papers & documentaries that were produced with this belief in mind. If you questions Buddhists themselves in most parts of the world, they’d be quick to say that Buddha in deed born in India. Though there should not be a debate on the Buddha’s birthplace but his dharma, it is our responsibility to enlighten those who are unaware the truths and essentials.Buddha, then Prince Siddhartha was born in the area called Rupandehi (Kapilvastu), Lumbini that belongs to the lovely country called Nepal. Anybody on a pilgrim tour or personal travel can visit Lumbini as a part of Buddhist archeology site visits. Though the fact is such, the world’s most premiere search engine service provider google too showed up India as the Prince Siddhartha’s birthplace till a year ago.
