At which place did Gautama Buddha pass away?

Kushinagar

The correct answer is Option 2- Kushinagar

Gautama Buddha passed away in Kushinagar, India. Kushinagar is a town in the present-day state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located about 50 kilometers east of Gorakhpur, a major city in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

According to Buddhist tradition, Buddha passed away in Kushinagar in 486 BCE at the age of 80. He had been traveling throughout India for 45 years, teaching his Dharma to all who would listen.

In the weeks leading up to his death, Buddha knew that he was nearing the end of his life. He instructed his disciples to continue teaching his Dharma after he was gone. He also told them that he would be reborn as a Maitreya, a future Buddha who would come to teach the Dharma to the world once again.

On the day of his death, Buddha was lying down under a sal tree. He was surrounded by his disciples and followers. He gave them his final instructions and then passed away peacefully.

Kushinagar is a holy place for Buddhists all over the world. It is one of the four most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites, along with Lumbini (where Buddha was born), Bodh Gaya (where Buddha attained enlightenment), and Sarnath (where Buddha gave his first sermon).
