The temple is built on the site called "The Sacred Garden" where Buddha reputedly was born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama was to Queen Mayadevi and King Suddhodhana and Purshkarini is a pond where the Queen mother took the ritual dip prior to His birth and later He had His first bath there too. The Garden was lost for 600 years and its rediscovery, in 1895, by a German archaeologist A A Führer. When he and Nepali escort by sheer coincidence camped practically on top of the garden. While they slept, one of the porters, answering the nature's call stumbled upon the ruins (that surround the now temple ) obscured by the jungle. Hence, the site was one of the greatest and luckiest finds of the century. Lumbini was declared the World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.
