New Odia Book Kapila Basturu Kushinara By Sanjukta Mohanty
Kapilavastu was an ancient city in the north of the Indian subcontinent which was the capital of the clan ganasangha or republic of the Shakyas in the late Iron Age, around the 6th and 5th centuries BC. King Śuddhodana and Queen Maya are believed to have lived at Kapilavastu, as did their son Prince Siddartha Gautama until he left the palace at the age of 29.
