The Rummendei Pillar:
Ashoka is the most well-known king of the Maurya dynasty. He converted to Buddhism and spent the rest of his life propagating his dharma (law). Ashoka once visited Lumbini, the town where Prince Siddhartha, called Buddha, was born.

He erected a stele commemorating the event. It is known as the Rummendei pillar. It is 22 feet tall and an inscription in five lines states that it stands in the area where Siddhartha Gautama was born.

Maya Devi Temple :
The most important temple at Lumbini is the Maya Devi Temple; Maya Devi Temple marks the spot where Queen Maya Devi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama in around 563BC. It is enclosed by the brick foundations of monasteries and ancient temples. In the sacred garden you’ll find the ancient ruins of stupas, pillar of Ashoka and maroon- and saffron-robed monks congregating under a sprawling Bodhi (pipal) tree decorated with prayer flags.
