Kushinagar tours of buddhist pilgrimage sites
1. Kushinagar - Tours of Buddhist Pilgrimage Sites
Kushinagar, one of the principal centers of Buddhist pilgrimage, is the place
where Lord Buddha left his physical self and attained Mahaparinirvana (“Great
Nirvana”). The credit for bringing this ancient site to light goes to General A.
Cunningham and A.C.I. Carlyl, who, after excavating the site in 1861, established
its antiquity for the first time.
The remains of the Parinirvana Stupa and Parinirvana Temple, when
rediscovered, were covered in a 40 foot high mound of bricks surrounded by a
dense thorny forest. Later, between 1904 and 1912, several excavations
2. conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India at Kushinagar confirmed its
identity.
Today, Kushinagar is a much-frequented pilgrimage site for Indian and foreign
tourists, and temples have been constructed by Indian, Chinese, Sri Lankan,
Thai, Burmese, South Korean, Tibetan and Japanese Buddhists, alongside the
ruins of monasteries and stupas.
