Kapilavastu

Childhood home of Siddartha Gautama, the Buddha, close to his birthplace at Lumbini in Nepal, India. Kapilavastu was the capital of his father's domain as chief of the Shakya clan, and the prince lived in the palace until about the age of 29, when he left his family and life of luxury to seek an answer to the unhappiness of the world.
