The municipality is named after the ancient Ramgram Stupa, the sacred relic of Lord Gautam Buddha.

Introduction

This place in Nawalparasi is a historical, archeological and religious site. Although Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha, is a historical site, it is the only Ramgram Stupa to have become a Buddha and a physical relic of the Buddha after attaining enlightenment. It is a Koliya republic and its capital is at Panditpur in Nawalparasi.

Geologists have confirmed that Panditpur of Nawalparasi is the capital of the Koliyan Republic and not Devadaha of Rupandehi. Currently this site is in Ramgram Municipality Ujaini. The Ramgram Stupa of Lord Gautam Buddha at Ujaini in Ramgram Municipality of West Nawalparasi is the only preserved ossified metal Ramgram Stupa in the world.

Religious and cultural significance

For the past several years, foreigners and Nepali Buddhists have been worshiping, lighting incense, playing musical instruments and singing hymns at this important religious, archeological and historical site.

Historical and mythological beliefs of Ramgram Stupa

According to Buddhist scriptures, after the Buddha’s Mahaparinirvana (483 BC), after a dispute over who would carry the relics, the Buddha’s bone metal was divided into eight parts. Buddha’s relics were given to Magadha, Vaishali, Kapilvastu, Allakappa, Vaipdeep, Pava, Kushinagar and Ramgram.

The stupas were constructed in their respective places after diagnosing the same bone metal. However, the Mahavamsa (Sri Lankan genealogy) mentions that the bones were scattered in different places and were not preserved.

Must Read

During the campaign to build 84,000 stupas, Emperor Ashoka (3rd century BC) went to collect the remains of monk Mahakashyap. However, the same genealogy also mentions that the snakes living under the protection of the this place  did not allow the removal of the bone metal. This means that the territory of Ramgram at that time was not under the Mauryan Empire. Similarly, Emperor Ashoka collected the belongings of all the kingdoms and could not take Ramgram as the elephants protected them.

It is also mentioned that Dandapani, the father-in-law of the then King Gautam Buddha, built the stupa after the Buddha’s demise. It is also said that Emperor Ashoka planned to collect all the fossils. According to sources, Chinese travelers Fayan and Huen Sang also described the Ramgram in detail in their travelogues.

Natural beauty of Ramgram Stupa

The green thumko seen on the plains on the banks of the Jharhi river is attractive.

Tourist potential of Ramgram Stupa

If Ramgram can be protected and developed, it is believed that Ramgram, like Lumbini, will become a Buddhist pilgrimage site of international importance.

Tourism promotion in Ramgram Stupa

A Chinese team has surveyed the historical and archeological religious site of Nepal, Ramgram Stupu, for the construction of a tourist site. A team of experts from the China-Nepal Cultural Exchange Center in Beijing, China, has shown interest in the development of the stupa by constructing a tourist spot around the Ramgram Stupa to enhance the beauty of the stupa. The team has surveyed the area around the Ramgram Stupa and expressed its desire to build a model pilgrimage site with its massive investment.

The great human Buddha was born in BC. In 563, on the full moon day of Baisakh, a shawl fell under a tree in the forest of Lumbini. He was born in the Shakya Chhetri Surya dynasty. His grandfather’s name is Singh and his grandmother’s name is Kanchana. He was born from the womb of King Suddhodana and Queen Mahamaya Devi. His village is Koshal Rajya Kapilvastu. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are also devas. His wife’s name is Yashodhara and son’s name is Rahul. King Shuddhodan was 57 years old when Siddhartha Kumar was born. . He was named on the fifth day of his birth. Eight Brahmins had predicted that he would become a Buddha in the future. Mother Ahamaya Devi passed away 7 days after her birth. After that, Siddhartha was brought up by his younger mother Prajapati Gautami.

Along with the birth of the Buddha, the following seven things were also born. Mangal Hatti, Yashodhara, Kaludai Mantri, Chhandak Sarathi, Kanthak Ghoda, Bodhi Tree and 4 pots of gold. Vodhisattva Siddhartha Kumar was married to Yasodhara at the age of 16. At that time, Yashodhara was not even 16 years old. Fearing the prophecies of the Pandits, King Suddhodhana built three luxurious buildings to keep Siddhartha Kumar forgotten in his domestic life. They were beautiful 9th ​​floor, picturesque 7th floor, auspicious 5th floor. One day Siddharth Kumar went out to circulate the market. He saw a sick man and asked the driver why he was sick. According to Sarthi, all people get sick. After reaching some distance, Siddharth Kumar again saw an old man walking with a stick and asked the charioteer, “Why is this man old?” According to the charioteer, everyone in the world grows old.

. After reaching some distance, Siddharth Kumar saw another dead man sitting around the family crying and again asked Sarathi what happened. Sarathi said that this person is dead and his family members are mourning. He told Siddhartha that every person becomes ill, gets old and dies one day after birth. This is the true truth, it is the law of creation. These incidents and scenarios hurt Siddhartha Kumar a lot.He began to think that there is sorrow, there is disease, there is old age, why birth and death are together? Siddhartha Kumar spent a lot of time thinking about the prevention of such mental illness. At the age of 29, Siddharth Kumar’s son Rahul was born. Siddharth Kumar had left home seven days after Rahul’s birth. The name of the horse that Siddhartha Kumar rode after leaving home was Kanthak and the name of the charioteer was Chhanna-Chhandak. At that time, Siddharth Kumar, Sarathi Chhandak and Ghoda Kanthak were all 29 years old.

After leaving home and reaching the banks of the river Anoma, he cut his own hair and became a monk. Then, when Siddhartha was meditating on hunger, his body became very weak and he realized that he should meditate on the little food he needed to maintain his body. After that, he continued to practice meditation and meditation for the welfare of the human race.Thus Siddhartha Kumar attained enlightenment under a poplar tree at Aruvela (Buddhagaya) on the night of the full moon of Vaishakh. He was 35 at the time. That poplar tree is called Bodhi tree. After that, at the age of 36, he started preaching Dharmachakra (first sermon) at Srigatavan Sarnatha. Five housewives took the first sermon. They are Kaundanya Vappa, Bhaddiya, Mahanam and Assajit.The first monk was Kaundanya, the first to go to the shelter of Triratna was Yash Kumar’s father, mother, Sujata and wife, and the first to become a monk was Yash Kumar. Mahalata Abhushan was with three people in the time of Buddha:

1. Visakha

2. Mallika Devi

3. Devdaniya thief

Visakha Mahauyasika had asked the following 8 wishes  with the Buddha:

A. Giving bath cloth to the monks’ association.
B. Donating food to visitors.
C. Donate food to passengers.
D. Donating food to patients.
E.Donating food to the servants of the sick.
F.Donating medicine to patients.
G.Donate jaula to patients. (Soft rice to feed the patient)
F. Donating artificial clothes to the nuns.

Nakulmata and Nukalpita, these two household couples, addressed the Buddha as “Son”.
Jivak Vaidya used to treat Lord Buddha by sniffing medicinal lotus flowers when he was unwell.
Devadatta had asked the Buddha for the following five things, which the Buddha did not accept, and Devadatta had set up a separate monks’ association.

1) The monks have to live in the forest.
2) Chew only the cloth thrown in the masan.
3) You should eat only after taking alms.
4) You should sleep under the tree.
5) Fish and meat should not be eaten at all.

Thus, it seems that Devadatta was the first to bring feet in the monks’ association during the time of Buddha, but it did not last forever.
