Summary edit

Description
English: Kudan or Nigrodharam is an ancient site located at a distance of 2 km from Taulihawa Bazaar in Kapilvastu district of Nepal. It is a historical place where father and son i.e. son Gautam Buddha and father Shuddhodhan meet. This is the place where Gautam Buddha came to his hometown Kapilvastu for the first time in seven years after attaining enlightenment. This place is considered as a very sacred place. In this Kudan, Shakya king Shuddhodhan donated a magnificent Bihar to Lord Buddha and the monks' association under the auspices of Nigrodha Shakya. While Gautama Buddha was in Kapilvastu, 500 Shakyaputras left home and became monks at this place. Also at this place, Prajapati gave Buddha a kashaya bastra and Rahul became a monk. Excavations in 1962 have shown that the ancient Buddhist site of Shivalinga in the upper part of the central and southern ruins was dominated by Hindus in the Middle Ages.
