meditating on the steps leading down to the riverbank to women doing laundry and washing glasses.

northeast of Varanasi.
It is believed that after attaining Enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, it was here that Lord Buddha preached
his first sermon, hallowed as Maha Dharm Chakra Parivartan. The main attractions of Sarnath include
the Chaukhandi Stupa, the Ashoka pillar and the Tibetan temple.
Chaukhandi Stupa: Chaukhandi Stupa is considered as one of the most divine and important
monuments of Buddhist culture. This stupa has been built on the exact spot where the great Lord
Buddha first met his five ascetics, to whom he later preached his first teachings. The monument has
been erected as a commemoration of this important event which eventually became instrumental in
the rise of the Buddhism religion. The Chaukhandi Stupa is an evolution on the burial mounds and
serves as a shrine to the great Lord Buddha The Ashoka Pillar – The national emblem of India and a mark of Emperor Ashoka’s visit to Sarnath, the stone-made Ashoka Pillar is an impressive structure topped with four lions. This 50m long pillar along with Dhamek Stupa are Ashoka’s gift to Buddhism and the whole complex has a calm aura. Several monks are seen meditating around the complex.
Sarnath Tibetan Temple: This Buddhist shrine has been decorated with Thangksa, which are Tibetan Buddhist paintings. The temple features a statue of Shakyamuni, the Buddha. Prayer wheels are seen outside the building which, when turned clockwise, release paper scrolls with prayers written on them.
After returning from Sarnath, you walk through the narrow alleys where you share space with cows, scooters, rickshaws, shops and people, your path leads you to the banks of the Ganges. Here you will once again embark on a boat ride to experience the famous evening aarti ceremony, when priests perform a ritual to put the river goddess Ganges to sleep and ward off evil.
