Descent of Buddha from Trayastrimsa Heaven

The Buddha chose to ascend to the heaven of the Thirty-Three Gods (Trayastrimsa, equivalent to Indra's Svarga Heaven) in order to preach to the gods and his mother who also resided to earth at Samkashya (Sankisa), which remains to this day one of the eight holy Buddhist pilgrimage sites.
