One of two queens of King Suddhodana of the kingdom of Kapilvastu two and half millennium years ago, Maya Devi is better known as the Mother of Lord Gautam Buddha inspite of the fact athat she had had her own special identity as an ideal queen to her credit. During her pregnancy she had swallowed a white elephant in her dream, as a result of which she gave birth to Siddhartha Gautam who eventually became the Buddha, the enlightened one. However, she passed away after seven days of the birth of Lord Buddha.
