Half day Tour of Sarnath and Ganges Arati by boat
 

Accompanied by your guide by first exploring Sarnath where Buddha is believed to have delivered his first sermon in 528 BC.

At Sarnath you will see Buddhist Temples built by Tibetan, Thai, Chinese Burmese and Japanese Buddhists. Sarnath is an important pilgrimage place as here at the monastery ruins of Dhanekh Stupa, Buddha is believed to have delivered his first sermon in 528 BC. Some of the brickwork is thought to date back to the 200 BC. Your guide will be ready to explain more about this place and how this was once ancient India’s greatest centre of learning

Again the Ghats leading down to the sacred river become alive as sunset approaches and the evening Arati blessing is offered to the river and sun by a group of priests with burning oil lamps, incense and conches.
You will view this profound spectacle from your private boat as many locals and visitors throng the steps to share their own offerings at this time
