This interactive map displays the four significant sites from Buddha's life—Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, and Kushinagar—across India and Nepal. The visualization combines geographical and historical data from a CSV file, projecting locations using `d3.geoEquirectangular` and `d3.geoPath`. A dotted route connects the sites, while interactive tooltips provide detailed hover descriptions. A clickable timeline below uses `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.axisBottom` to show the chronological sequence of events from 563 BCE to 483 BCE.
