Devadaha

Devadaha was the place of Koliya,the maternal home of Buddha.It is named by the lake which is believed to be constructed by gods(devas).Mahanaya and Prajapati gautami was born at Devadaha. Yasodhara was also born there .So it seems the marital relation berween Kapilvastu and Devadaha was popular at that time. Devadaha is situated east to the Lumbini grove. Tibetian chornical tells that the increment of density in the Kapilvastu made the migration of Shakyas to Devadaha. Buddha had delivered Devadahasutta and Devadaha khamasutta in Devadaha.
