Tilaurakot East Gate

TILAURAKOT EAST GATE (MAHABHINISHKRAMANA GATE)

Standing at the fortified perimeter of Tilaurakot, the East Gate is the sacred threshold where a 29-year-old Prince Siddhartha quietly rode into the night to renounce royal luxury and seek supreme salvation. Known as the Mahabhinishkramana Dwara, this historic portal marks the exact spot where a prince walked away from a kingdom to begin his transformative journey into the Buddha.
