Dhamek stupa

Dhauli stupa

Answer: Dhamek Stupa

In the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, at Sarnath, 13 kilometres from Varanasi, is the enormous stupa known as Dhamek Stupa. According to legend, the Dhamek Stupa is where, after achieving enlightenment, the Buddha delivered his first sermon to his first five students, who were headed by Kaundinya, “revealing his Eightfold Path leading to nirvana.” The stupa’s current form is a solid brick and stone cylinder with a diameter of 28 metres and a height of 43.6 metres. It is Sarnath’s largest building by far. The stone facing in the basement is chiselled and features beautiful floral designs that are thought to be of Gupta origin, suggesting that it is a remnant of Ashoka’s construction.
