Sacred Garden is the place where Siddharth Gautam who later became Buddha (enlightened) was born in 623BC. The whole site is significant as it carries a very rich history and has amazing energy. But what stands different is the Ashoka Pillar erected by Mauryan Emperor Ashoka of India when he visited this holy site in 249BC. The inscription which is written on the pillar is also known as Paderia Inscription. This inscription is an inscription in the ancient Brahmi script, which was discovered in 1896 in modern Nepal by Gen Khadga Shameshar with the assistance of Alois Anton Führer. The inscription mentions this Sacred Garden has spread across 9sq.km.
