My Pilgrimage Tour To India - Kapilavatthu

Entrance of the garden of Kapilavatthu and many of us were having a great time here in this beautiful garden of the early life of the Lord Buddha .

Kapilavatthu, the capital of the country of the Sakyans where the Buddha spent the first 29 years of his life before leaving home in quest of the deathless. This place has been a matter of controversy  for nearly a century.  
There are two claimants to the site of Kapilavatthu, namely Piprahwa in Basti District of Uttar Pradesh of India and Tilaurakot 25km west of Lumbini in Nepal. The Indian claim was based on seals and inscriptions over the lid of a pot from the 2nd century AD that was found during excavations of the so-called palace at Piprahwa.
