Indian Ambassador Naveen Srivastava on Thursday visited the International Buddhist Cultural and Heritage Center being built by India in Lumbini. The heritage center, which is being built in the style of a blooming lotus flower using zero-net technology, is being built in Lumbini by the International Buddhist Confederation under the Government of India. Dr. Haridhwaj Rai, Senior Information Officer of the Lumbini Development Trust, said that Ambassador Srivastava came to inspect the program to be inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this Baisakh Purnima if the construction can be completed immediately. However, he said that the inauguration will not be immediate as it will take another three months to complete. The building is being constructed using zero-net technology, meaning that it does not require external electricity, at a cost of Rs 1.6 billion. The foundation stone of the heritage center, which was laid by Indian Prime Minister Modi on 2079 Jestha 2, was laid on 21st Shrawan 2080, with the construction to be completed in 18 months.
After visiting the Heritage Center, Ambassador Srivastava visited the Mayadevi Temple, the birthplace of Buddha. Dr. Rai, Senior Information Officer of the Trust, briefed Ambassador Srivastava about the historical and archaeological significance of the Mayadevi Temple, its excavation, conservation, and the Lumbini Master Plan.
