#Dhamek #Stupa which is also spelled as Dhamekh and Dhamekha is one of the most famous and #Buddhist #stupas located in #Sarnath near #Varanasi in #UttarPradesh, #India. Originally built in 249 BCE during the reign of king Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty, this massive and prominent structure has over time gone through several expansions and additions. This solid cylindrical shaped Stupa made of red bricks and stone in its present position stands at a height of 43.6 m with a diameter of 28 m. The significance of this sacred place is that it marks the spot where Lord #Buddha #preached the #first #sermon to His five disciples after attaining #enlightenment in #BodhGaya. #Buddhist pilgrims from around the world visit Sarnath to circumambulate the holy Stupa and worship Lord Buddha. National and international tourists also flock at Sarnath to get a glimpse of Buddhist #architecture and #culture at this significant centre of #Buddhism.

#Reisereportage: "Varanasi sehen und sterben"

"Ich hatte gehörigen Respekt vor der Begegnung mit dem Tod an den Verbrennungsstätten am Ganges. Der Tod ist ein besonders wichtiges Thema in meinem Leben - kein Einfaches. Und so hat es lange gedauert bis ich die Stadt des Lichtes und des Todes aufgesucht habe. Nun hoffte ich, bereit zu sein."
