Discovery of the sight where the Buddhas body was burnt. "Khutwajabdi" village on the stupa.This is a video of Khutwajabdi stupa/village in Birgunj in southern Nepal. This is the stupa where they burnt the Buddhas body and divided the relics. A village settled on the stupa and kept the name alive. The stupa has flattened. Just behind this stupa is another hump on the road which is the relic dividing stupa. The Buddha died in what is now "Gah Hawa Mai" temple in central Birgunj. The body was carried to the north of the town and at "Murli" chowk/crossroads the funeral procession turned east and came to Khutwajabdi. 'Khutwa' means feet and 'Jabdi' means by force. The dead body had taken out its feet by force from the funeral wrappings so that Kashyap could pay reverence to him (Buddha).

Here is the link to the youtube video of Khutwajabdi village on the stupa.
