Recent archaeological survey at Tilaurakot, Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, reveals significant insights into its morphological and chronological structure. The UNESCO/JFIT project, led by Professor Robin Coningham (Durham University) and Kosh Prasad Acharya (Department of Archaeology), employed an international team to investigate the site's layers through excavation and analysis. Findings contribute to understanding Tilaurakot's historical significance, shedding light on its development over time. The study combines expertise from Durham University, Lumbini Development Trust, Department of Archaeology, and National Geographic, aiming to strengthen conservation efforts at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
