Recently during a day-long visit to Lumbini in Nepal Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the construction of the India International Centre for Buddhist Culture and Heritage and participated in the foundation stone laying ceremony and offered prayers at the Mayadevi temple that is dedicated to the mother of the Buddha. The work on the centre will be undertaken by the International Buddhist Confederation (IBC), which is a “grantee body” under the Ministry of Culture. The International Buddhist Confederation is aimed at propagating and preserving the teachings and heritage of the Buddha across the world, and especially in India’s immediate neighborhood. Lumbini is the place where Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born around 623 BC. He later attained enlightenment at Bodhgaya in Bihar district and came to be known as the Buddha.
