			===Location of Maha Parinirvana===
			It has been suggested by Waddell that the site of the death and ''parinirvana'' of [[Gautama Buddha]] was in the region of [[Rampurva]]:

			<blockquote>
			"I believe that Kusīnagara, where the Buddha died may be ultimately found to the North of [[Bettiah]], and in the line of the [[Pillars of Ashoka\|Aśōka pillars]] which lead hither from [[Patna]] (Pāțaliputra)" in Bihar.<ref>"A Tibetan Guide-book to the Lost Sites of the Buddha's Birth and Death", [[L. A. Waddell]]. [[Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal]], 1896, p. 279.</ref>
			</blockquote>
			It still awaits proper archaeological excavation.
