Mahaparinirvana temple in Kushinagar, a 1956 shrine at a bend of the road leading out of town. The shrine contains a 20-foot sandstone statue from the fifth century A.D. of the dying Buddha, lying vacant-faced on his right side. Since it was discovered in a temple ruin in 1876, the iconic figure has drawn thousands of devotees, who leave offerings of fruit, flowers and candy. #temples
