Said to be the birthplace of Buddhism. Structures in the foreground are remnants of the ancient temple. The structure with the beautiful gold dome is the Shri Digambar Jain Temple which is believed to be about 2200 years old.

 

Sarnath is a place located 10 kilometres north-east of Varanasi near the confluence of the Ganges and the Varuna rivers in Uttar Pradesh, India. The deer park in Sarnath is where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of Kondanna. (Source: WIkipedia)
