Kapilvastu Park - Ancient Buddhist Site

Good experience. Place is more of historical importance. Nothing much to see that may amaze you, history lovers must visit.

Overall a new and enriching experience in one's life. Something new and fabulous. In the outer skirts of the city lies this. People here are co-operative. You can visit here very often along with the family. Car accessible entrance. Car parking facilities are also available. This place has spiritual cultural historical as well as geographical importance.

It is is claimed to be ancient kapilvastu and capital of lord Buddha, there is one big ancient stupa surrounded by beautiful green park. Since last year they are charging ra. 25 per person as entry fee. A fee of 25 rs not worth of this place. There is nothing inside that u can't see from outside. I would suggest not to spend Ur hardly urned money for such places

"The light of Asia" is here. One of best place for the people who want to see something historical about Gautam Buddha coz its the birth place.. No wonder it's not a develop area as it should be so it's a challenge to reach at this place but the glorious thing is the stoop it's amazing and ancient. Happy to be here. A calm and clean place.

Place of shakya city in the ancient times after Buddha's mahapatinirwana shakya people built one stupa over the bone-ace of tathagat buddha. Today you see that ruin stupa there near nepal border in uttar pradesh. Calm and peacefull place.

Best time to visit is winter or at the time when there's no sun trust me you will love this place if you are environment lover loves to be surrounded by greenery and if you are interested in ancient history then one must visit this place to know about the historical events related to this place beside this also it's really nice place for all age group people such places are best for peaceful mind therapy

If you have desired to visit a calm place then go for it. A holly and ancient historical place for Buddhists.
Typically you have one or two hours of time to visit here.
After all it's very good experience with this place.

Kapilavastu (“Place of Kapila”) is the name of the city where Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha, l. c. 563-483 BCE) grew up and lived for the first 29 years of his life before leaving to pursue the spiritual path which led to his enlightenment. The city is thought to have been named in honor of the sage Kapila.

Kapila was the founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy of India, believed by some scholars to have influenced the Buddha's own spiritual and intellectual development. It is possible Kapila founded the village as a philosophical center but this claim is speculative.

In the present day, Kapilavastu refers to a district in Nepal where the archaeological site of Tilaurakot is located (one of the claimants as ancient Kapilavastu) but is also used to refer to the village and archaeological site of Piprahwa in Uttar Pradesh, India, just across the border from Nepal (the other major contender as the ancient city). Both sites have provided significant evidence for their claims and recognition of which is the “real” Kapilavastu is based on which arguments one finds more convincing.

The ancient city was ruled by the oligarchy of the Shakya clan and maintained close ties to the nearby city of Devadaha, controlled by their relatives, the Koliya clan, both of which claimed descent from the legendary Ikshvaku Dynasty. According to Buddhist tradition, it was ruled at the time of Siddhartha's birth by his father, Suddhodana, who, after hearing a prophecy that his son would grow up to become either a great king or powerful spiritual leader, took measures to ensure Siddhartha would never experience the kind of suffering which might lead him to pursue the spiritual path and turned Kapilavastu into a vast pleasure compound to keep him distracted and ensure he would succeed to the throne. His plans would fail, however, after Siddhartha recognized the impermanence of existence and left the city to find his own path.

It was a good experience visiting the park. Ticket fare is Rs 25 . The park should be more developed as it marks the part of birth place of Buddha . It is in Siddharthnagar district formerly known as naugarh. It is about 20-22 km from Siddharthnagar and Lumbini is 33 km from kapilvastu.
Overall if you go in summer season like from mid June - July you can get the taste of 🥭 mangoes. As Siddharth University is also in this proximity but again' the level of development is not up to the mark.
