Lumbini

Lumbini is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Rupandehi District of Nepal. It is the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.

History: According to Buddhist tradition, Siddhartha Gautama was born in Lumbini in 563 BCE. The site remained a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists for centuries, but it fell into disrepair and was abandoned in the 14th century. The site was rediscovered in the late 19th century and has since been restored and developed as a major pilgrimage site.

Culture: Lumbini is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Buddhists, who come from all over the world to pay their respects to the Buddha and to visit the sacred sites associated with his life. The site is also of cultural and historical significance, as it provides insight into the history and development of Buddhism.

People: Lumbini is visited by people from all over the world, but it holds special significance for Buddhists. The site is often visited by Buddhist monks and scholars, as well as by tourists and visitors interested in learning more about Buddhism.

Location: Lumbini is located in the southern part of Nepal, near the border with India. It is about 280 kilometers (174 miles) southwest of Kathmandu and can be reached by public transportation or by hiring a taxi.

Legend: According to Buddhist tradition, Queen Maya Devi, the mother of Siddhartha Gautama, gave birth to him while she was on a journey to visit her family in Lumbini. She gave birth under a tree, which is now known as the Bodhi Tree, and it is believed that the baby took seven steps and proclaimed that he would be a Buddha.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
