Manisha (INDIA):
This site has not yielded any thing to prove conclusively that it is Kapilavastu. With due respect I must add that I can't understand how UNESCO team is so blind-folded to offer it the status of World Heritage Site, only perhaps because British team is working there.
Piprahwa on the contrary has yielded all evidences way back in 1971-1973 in form of relics and seiling with the legend Kapilavastu. Still it has received no honour forget about giving reconition to the excavator. WHY THIS PARTIALITY? Date posted: September 2008
