Introduction to the Holy Pool: The Sacred Pond is Lady Maya’s Bath (Sacred Pond), also known as Puskarini Pool (Puskarini). It is located south of Lady Maya Temple. Legend has it that Lady Maya stayed here after giving birth to her son. At that time, the pool covered with green and white lotus flowers was bathed and purified. The Buddha also bathed here when he was a child, so this is a truly holy pool. It is said that the kings of Sri Lanka and Bhutan come here every year to fetch water and return blessings.
