Buddha Stupa Sarnath Tour

There are customised trip itineraries to specific Buddhist pilgrimage sites as well
that pilgrims can opt for. Some of them are the Buddhist Stupa Sarnath Tour,
Sravasti Buddhist Tour Packages, Bodhgaya Tour Package, etc. These pilgrimage
tour operators in India take pilgrims to these enlightening Buddhist tourist
places to provide a first-hand experience to pilgrims who wish to unravel the self-
disciplined and legendary life of Lord Buddha.
Buddha Stupa Sarnath is one such tour. Sarnath is located at a distance of 10 Km
from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. After attaining nirvana, the Buddha went to
Sarnath.

It is said that Lord Buddha visited Sarnath looking for his five companions who left
him in Rajgir while they deviated from the viewpoint of Lord Buddha on self-
mortification. Buddha delivered his first sermon here in Deer Park. King Ashoka,
who spread the Buddha’s message of love and compassion throughout his vast
empire, visited Sarnath around 234 BC and built a stupa there. Several Buddhist
structures were raised at Sarnath between the 3rd century BC and the 11th century
AD, and today it presents the most expansive ruins among places on the Buddhist
trail.

Emperor Ashok built Dhamekh Stupa in 249 BCE. It is a majestic and massive
structure with a diameter of 28 m and a height of 43.6 m. Buddhist pilgrims
circumambulate the cylindrical red stone stupa while worshipping.

Thai Temple: The countries like Thailand, Sri Lanka, Japan, and India have many
Buddhist followers, and each country has built its structure in its architectural style

in Sarnath. The Thai Temple is the most famous among the several monasteries,
temples, and structures managed by only the Thai Buddhist Monk.

Ashoka Pillar: Also known as Sarnath Pillar. It depicts four lions in standing
posture and a chakra at its bottom. It is the same pillar that gets adopted for our
national emblem. It has an image of an elephant at the top, a galloping horse, and
a bull mounted on the bottom of Chakra. The four animals symbolize the different
phases of the Buddha’s life. The Bulls point to his birth, Elephant stands for his
notion, the lions stand for the attainment of enlightenment, and the horse denotes
his separation from royal life.

Sarnath Museum contains vast relics and curios of Buddha’s journey to
enlightenment. It also houses many artifacts, coins, and sculptures from the
Maurya Dynasty including the Lion Capital sculpture as the centerpiece. It is best

trees and was used as a monastery initially. Inside the temple are beautifully done
frescoes on the wall and ceiling which often take one’s breath away.
