Dhamek Stupa– It’s a huge stupa located at Sarnath just few kms away from Varanasi,UP.It’s been heard that after parinirvana of Gautam Buddha, his remains were cremated under the eight mounds here. This stupa was built in 500 CE by King Ashoka. Built in a cylindrical shape, the stupa looks fabulous, currently the height of this stupa is around 43 meters. Surrounded by a garden, the place is photogenic. This is indeed one of the best places to visit in Sarnath.
