Holy City for Buddhists - First sermon by Lord Gautama Buddha

Went to Sarnath on Dec 11, 2008. Sarnath is less than 30k from Varnasi.. but road conditions and the crowd make it a ardous journey.

Sarnath is where Gautama Buddha first preached to 5 of his disciples..

Also, we saw a huge tomb built by King Asoka plus the excavations of a huge Monstary..

Overall a nice place to visit..

Didn't have time to visit a Govt run museum.. that's where the Ashoka Chakra.. emblem of India is kept..

Holy City for Buddhists - First sermon by Lord Gautama Buddha

This gigantic silo-like building is said to mark where Buddha presented his eightfold path to nirvana and has been here since 500 C.E.

The monumental stupa is a sacred place for Buddhists. Buddhists come from all over the world to circle around it, as it is where Buddha delivered his first sermon.
