Embark on a serene spiritual journey to Sarnath, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon after attaining enlightenment. This sacred land radiates peace, wisdom, and timeless heritage. Walk amidst ancient stupas, meditate where monks once gathered, and feel the deep calm that still lingers in the air.
Sarnath, located just 10 km from Varanasi, is one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world.
It is historically significant as the place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon after attaining enlightenment — known as the Dhammachakkappavattana Sutta (Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dharma) — around 528 BCE.
This marked the beginning of the Buddhist Sangha (monastic community).
Sarnath flourished as a major center of learning and art under the Maurya and Gupta empires, especially during Emperor Ashoka’s reign, who erected the famous Ashokan Pillar here.
The site includes important monuments like the Dhamek Stupa, Chaukhandi Stupa, Mulagandha Kuti Vihar, and a museum housing the Lion Capital of Ashoka — now India’s national emblem.
Spiritually, Sarnath symbolizes peace, enlightenment, and the spread of Dharma (righteous path). It attracts pilgrims and visitors from across the globe, offering a serene environment for reflection and meditation.
