The lord Buddha was born around 2600 years ago at Lumbini (located at Nepal, just at the India border). A pillar was established now to mark the birth place. The pond nearby was the washing point for his mother immediately after giving birth.
Today, the water in this pond is regarded as "holy" and many devotees from all over the world use this water to clean their hands, legs and body to symbolize the purification of their mind, body and speech.
