Site Name: Sarnath

Date: 268-232 BCE

Subject: View of the stupa. Only a circular platform remains of the stupa today. The stupa is attributed to Ashoka on the basis of an inscription dated equivalent to 1026 on the base of a Buddha image said to have been found within the stupa. This stupa probably marks the site of the Buddha’s first sermon, at least the site imagined at some point in the past to mark that site.
