- Sarnath Museum
As part of package by IRCTC Heritage Circuit Special Train, we visited Sarnath Museum. This museum was one of its kind. It had a grand entry, was neat and clean and one could see enormous footfall.
To the left of gate was Sarnath Museum shop that had good and quality stuff. There were souvenirs, stoles, India's National Emblem, Buddha mini statues and a lot of interesting stuff.
We were not allowed to take cameras inside. So , I deposited my purse and camer in safe.
In museum many Buddha Statues were displayed. This museum was built with the intention to display excavations from the Archaeological Site of Sarnath.
Most of statues were broken as found during excavations. The museum had about 6,800 sculptures and artifacts.
Where to shop near Sarnath Museum
Outside Sarnath Museum is a long and massive market of street side vendors selling souvenirs. One must buy stuff from there. Its a good market and stuff needs to be bargained. One will get a lot of variety in terms of Buddha mini sculptures, art and craft stuff, lucky charms, key chains, our National Emblem mini sculptures and many more. One can easily spend minimum one hour shopping there.
