Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 in recognition of its universal religious and archaeological significance. In recent years, several conservation issues have caused the international community concern. In particular, the 2002 construction of the Maya Devi Temple raised the concerns of the World Heritage Committee. In this light, UNESCO, with the financial support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), has carried out an assessment study of Lumbini (April - November 2005). The objectives of the study were to review and analyse the present status of the site, and to identify recommendations for its sustainable development.
