Chaukhandi Stupa

The Chaukhandi Stupa, located in Varanasi, India, was originally built as a terraced temple to commemorate the spot where the Buddha and his first disciples met during their journey from Bodhgaya to Sarnath. Set within beautifully maintained gardens, the stupa serves as a gateway to the historic Buddhist city of Sarnath. Visitors today can explore the tranquil surroundings and appreciate the historical significance of this site, which marks a pivotal moment in the early days of Buddhism.
