Lumbini Natural Park (Indonesian: Taman Alam Lumbini) is a Buddhist temple located at Desa Dolat Rayat, Berastagi in North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was inaugurated with a great ceremony in October 2010. The ceremony was attended by more than 1,300 monks and more than 200 lay people from around the world. Taman Alam Lumbini is a replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. The architecture is similar to a Myanmar pagoda, covered in gold. It hosts an elephant statue and the door appears like a Burmese craft.
