Buddha Rice

Buddha Rice," is a unique variety of rice with a rich history and distinctive flavor. This rice has been cultivated since the Buddhist period (600 BC) and is said to have been gifted by Lord Buddha himself to the people of Kapilvastu.

 

When the villagers asked him for prasad, Lord Buddha gave them the grains, asking them to sow it in a marshy place. He prophesied that the rice would have a typical aroma that would always remind people of him.
