"After I am no more, O Ananda, men of belief will visit the four places with faith, curiosity and devotion:
- Lumbini where I was born,
- Bodh Gaya where I attained Enlightenment
- Saranath where I gave the first Sermons
- Kushinagar where I shall pass into Maha Pari Nirvana."
............ Lord Gautam Buddha
