Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, a World Heritage Property is located in the Rupandehi district of the Lumbini Zone, which is situated in the plains of Southern Nepal. Lumbini was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1997 as the birthplace of the Lord Buddha. This is evident from the inscription on the Ashoka Pillar. The UNESCO World Heritage Property, as inscribed in 1997, is limited to an area of 130 by 150 metres around the main archaeological remains that testify to the location of the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The surrounding Buffer Zone, which is contained within a levee, has an area of approximately a quarter of a sq-km. This area is known as the Sacred Garden of Lumbini.
The project was designed based on the outcomes of a preparatory mission undertaken from 18 to 21 June 2009 under JFIT funding and the activities were prioritized during the ongoing process of preparing the Integrated Management Plan (IMP). The project
activities were designed to ensure that, within the limits of the budget available, decisive steps are taken towards the protection of the site. The project took into account the most urgent and critical works focusing on conserving the Outstanding Universal Value of the site and protecting it from any irreversible negative impacts.
