Tour Itinerary

Day 1 Archaeological Museum Varanasi

Built in 1910, the Sarnath Archaeological Museum houses some treasures of Indian Buddhist art, including more than 300 pictures. Entering through the gate, in the hall on the left, there is a statue of the Falun that was created in the 5th century AD. The whole painting vividly expresses the calmness, confidence and loving-kindness of the Buddha when he preaches the Dharma. Another noteworthy place in the museum is the lion statue at the top of the Ashoka stone pillar. Although it has been destroyed, the bottom is still in its original location. The original column was more than 10 meters high, and the head was carved with a four-sided lion statue, which is now used as the pattern of the national emblem of India. The main part of this column (more than 2 meters) is also currently preserved in the museum.
