Kushinagar Mahaparinirvana Temple

Kushinagar is the place where Lord Buddha attained Mahaparinirvana (death). It is one of the four most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites.

The Mahaparinirvana Temple houses a stunning 6-meter long reclining statue of Buddha made of red sandstone, depicting his final moments. The Ramabhar Stupa marks his cremation site.

The atmosphere is one of profound peace and contemplation, with monks from many countries meditating in the gardens.
