Kushinagar, Buddhist pilgrimage town in Uttar Pradesh, India
The Parinirvana Temple in Kushinagar contains a 6-meter-long statue of Buddha lying in his final resting position on a brick platform.
Archaeological excavations in 1861 by Alexander Cunningham confirmed Kushinagar as the location where Gautama Buddha reached his final nirvana in 483 BCE.
The Ramabhar Stupa, situated 1.5 kilometers from the main temple, marks the exact location where Buddha's cremation ceremony took place.
Kushinagar International Airport connects the town directly with major cities, while auto rickshaws and taxis provide transportation within the sacred area.
The Matha Kuar Shrine displays a 3-meter blue stone statue from the 10th century depicting Buddha in the earth-touching gesture position.
