Sarnath Varanasi Video Visit Temples Stupas Pillars & Gardens, Indian Food Paneer. India Travel Vlog

Описание: India video of Sarnath Varanasi and Indian Food (Paneer). India Travel Vlog from Travel with Simon. Stupas, Pillars, temples and gardens.

Varanasi (also known as Benares, Banaras and/or Kashi) in Uttar Pradesh India is known as the spiritual capital of India, but as a tourist Varanasi city itself it can be a bit intense. Nearby (about 13km from town) and well worth a visit is Sarnath, the holiest of seven sacred cities in Hinduism and Jainism.

Lord Buddha is said to have preached his first sermon at the Dhamekh Stupa at Sarnath, making it one of the most recognisable sites of Buddhism in India and thronged with followers of Buddhism as well as tourists, but it’s still quiet in comparison to the chaos of Varanasi and international visitors to the area will enjoy the green of the gardens as well as the temples, pillars and stupas.

The archaeological museum at Sarnath is the oldest site museum of Archaeological Survey of India. The Lion Capitol of Ashoka (a sculpture of four lions standing back to back) which forms the basis of the official Emblem of India was originally placed atop the Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath, but is now housed in the Sarnath Museum.

All the temples, shrines and points of interest in Sarnath including the Dhamekh stupa, the ruins of the Mulagandha Kuti, the main shrine where Buddha is said to have sat in meditation, the Chaukhandi stupa and the golden temple at Sarnath are within walking distance of the museum.

After haggling over the cost of a Tuk Tuk to get from Varanasi to Sarnath, and exploring the temples, archaeological sites and gardens of Sarnath, I also get to taste some of my first Indian food, including paneer.

Join me in my next video of India when I return to the holy city of Varanasi to see the ghats and watch the ceremonies on the bank of the Ganges river.

Hi my name is Simon, I love to travel and I want to inspire you to leave your comfort zone behind once in a while to enjoy something different, which is why I have decided to vlog my way around the world one country at a time. I hope I inspire you to travel somewhere new yourself, or maybe revisit one of your favourite places.

As well as travel vlogs I will share with you how to get to some of the most beautiful and inspirational destinations on the earth, top travel tips and Budget Buster videos to let you know how much you should expect to pay if you want to travel to one of these destinations for yourself.

I would be delighted to answer any questions you leave in the comments section of videos, or leave a comment to suggest where I should travel to next.
