Short answers, pulled from the story.
Maya, also known as Mahāmāyā and Māyādevī, was the queen of the Shakya kingdom and the wife of King Śuddhodana. She was the mother of Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha, and died seven days after giving birth to him.
The Buddha was born in the gardens of Lumbini, in what is now the Terai region of Nepal, around 563 BCE. Maya had been traveling to Devadaha for the birth when labor began; she stopped in Lumbini Park and gave birth standing while holding a branch of a sal tree.
Maya died seven days after the birth of the Buddha, which Buddhist tradition holds is the fate of all mothers of Buddhas. She was reborn in a Buddhist heaven, identified in some commentaries as the Tusita heaven and in others as Tāvatiṃsa.
The Buddha was raised by his maternal aunt Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī, who was Maya's sister and the second wife of King Śuddhodana. Mahāpajāpatī later became the first Buddhist nun ordained by the Buddha.
The name Māyā means "skillful creator" in Sanskrit. She is also called Mahāmāyā, meaning "Great Māyā," and Māyādevī, meaning "Queen Māyā."
Scholar Z. P. Thundy has compared the two birth stories, noting similarities but also key differences: Mary raised Jesus and outlived him, while Maya died seven days after the Buddha's birth and never raised him. Thundy does not claim Christian texts were derived from Buddhist ones, and scholars Eddy and Gregorio A. Boyd argue there is no evidence of historical influence from outside sources on the New Testament authors.
