Hint:Siddhartha was the original name of Lord Buddha. He was born in the village of Lumbini (near Kapilvastu, now in Nepal) . He came from a royal family. Lord Buddha also led a reform movement in religion and society in the sixth century na BC. But unlike Mahavira, he followed the middle one path in his teachings. As such, his teachings became more popular, not only in India, but also abroad.
