Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is Koliya. Gautama Buddha’s mother ‘Mahamaya’ belonged to the Koliya tribe and she married Suddhodhana, who was a king of the Sakya clan . The Sakya and Koliya ruled on opposite banks of the Rohini river in the current Rupendehi District of Lumbini, Nepal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest Buddhist sources state that the Buddha was born to an aristocratic Kshatriya (Pali: khattiya) family called Gotama (Sanskrit: Gautama), who were part of the Shakyas, a tribe of rice-farmers living near the modern border of India and Nepal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Who was the Buddha’s family? Siddhartha Gautama was the son of Suddhodana and Maya, the king and queen of the Shakya clan, but he was largely raised by his aunt Prajapati.
