The capital city of
the Sakya clan, and one of the earliest republics, it was in Kapilavastu’s
opulent environs, that the holy soul of prince Siddharth
(Gautam Buddha)
spent his childhood.
Here he saw sorrow and pain, disease and death. Then,
finally when he saw a radiant happy Sadhu who had conquered all these, he
decided to renounce all worldly riches and pleasures to seek truth and
embark on the path of salvation.
The place holds significant
value for Buddhist pilgrims and has several Stupas. The archaeological
excavations have revealed stone caskets containing relics believed to be
that of Buddha’s.
