Sarnath
Sarnath: The Buddhist religion of Sarnath was just 10 km away from Varanasi. After getting 'Bodhi' in Bodh Gaya, Buddha came to the shrine and offered the religious advice first to the tropical garden. This incident to the Buddhists is known as the introduction of 'Mahadramachakram Launch'. In the context of Buddhadev, this ancient township was named as 'Rishapattan'. Sarnath is derived from the name Sarangnath (the meaning of the word Sarangnath).
