Devdaha
देवदह
The site of the ancient Koliya capital, home of Queen Maya and Yasodhara, the Buddha's mother and wife. The Buddha often visited in childhood, and ruins and ancient banyan trees are scattered across the countryside.
Devdaha is located about 35 km northeast of Lumbini. Known in ancient times as the Koliya capital, it was the maternal home of Queen Maya and of Yasodhara, the Buddha's wife. The area contains the Kanyamai Temple, the legendary ancient Pakari bodhi tree, and several archaeological excavation sites. Since 2023, pilgrimage facilities have been gradually built. The sites are scattered across rural areas and require a hired car, and they can be visited on the same day as Ramagrama Stupa.
