Parinirvana Stupa, Buddhist stupa in Kushinagar, India
The Parinirvana Stupa contains a 6.1-meter reclining Buddha statue positioned on a stone couch with its head pointing toward the north direction.
Alexander Cunningham discovered the broken fragments of the reclining Buddha statue and stupa during archeological excavations conducted in March 1877.
Visitors from numerous Buddhist nations come to this sacred site to honor the location where Gautama Buddha spoke his final words to his sangha.
The temple remains open to visitors throughout the year, with temperatures between October and March providing the most suitable conditions for exploration.
A large copper vessel emerged during the excavation of the stupa, which was initially concealed under a 40-foot mound of bricks in dense forest.
