As it is believed on the same day, Gautama Buddha got enlightened in 596 BC. But now dates vary country-wise.
Gautam Buddha was originally born Siddhartha Gautama in Lumbini (which is now in Nepal) to an elite family of Kshatriyas in 563 BC. His father was the king of the Shakya clan named Suddhodhana. He gave his son Siddhartha many luxuries and the comfort of life. During one instance. Siddhartha went for a tour of his kingdom and was shocked to see so many people suffering from hunger, disease, and poverty. The whole situation impacted him deeply. By the age of 29, he decided to leave his life of luxury and his parents in order to find the solution to the miseries of human life. For almost 6 years, he only traveled and meditated, and then finally in Bodhgaya, he attained enlightenment.
