HALF DAY SARNATH TOUR PACKAGE IN VARANASI

 

SARNATH is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in all of India. Buddhists believe that this was the spot where Buddha delivered his first sermon after gaining enlightenment. Sarnath derives its name from Sarangnath or the Deer God. The deer park at Sarnath is the place where Buddha gave his first sermon. Today, the deer park is a huge enclosure made for the deer to roam around freely. It is a wonderful place for those who are seeking solitude and peace. The main tourist attractions in Sarnath are the Stupas, excavated ruins of monasteries, Ashoka Pillar, Deer Park, where the Buddha delivered his first sermon, Dhamekh Stupa, Bodhi tree, Moolgandha Kuti Vihara and Archaeology Museum - home to an outstanding collection of Indian sculpture and carvings from the 3rd century BC to the 12th century AD ( Museum remain closed on Friday).
