- Entrance at Dhamekh Stupa
One of the other crucial site to be visited as part of Varanasi tour is Dhamekh Stupa.
- Beautiful tree at the entrance
Dhamekh Stupa is the point in Deer Park where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon. This site is estimated to house about 1500 priests with wells. The site was destroyed by invaders and is currently under excavation. The site is under the Archaeological society of India.
- Dhamekh Stupa complex
At the entrance, there were huge gardens. Very neat and clean with seating at certain places. I was amazed to see similar structures all over. There were small sections as if it was a room to some during older times. Everywhere there were stairs leading up to open space clearly indicating some inhabitants in the site long ago.
