Un des 4 sites de pèlerinage bouddhiste avec Lumbini (naissance de Buddha), Bodhgaya ( son "illumination"), Kuchinagar (sa mort). Après avoir atteint l'"Illumination", Buddha se rendit à Banaras (Varanasi) pour y enseigner. Il prononça son premier sermon à Sarnath dans un bosquet rempli de cerfs devant ses 5 premiers disciples. Il y prêcha les "4 Nobles Vérités" et organisa la Sangha. 60 moines furent envoyés vers différentes destinations pour y prêcher son enseignement.

Au III ème siècle av.JC, l'Empereur Ashoka renonçe à la violence et part en pèlerinage dans tous les lieux associés à Buddha. Il y érige des monuments (stupas) et de hauts piliers. Sarnath devient alors un des principaux lieux de pèlerinage.

Stupa. Worshippers circle around the stupa as an aid to meditation.
