The attractions at Sarnath:

- Chaukhandi Stupa - Chaukhandi Sarnath is one of the finest Monuments in Sarnath lies on the way to the famous Deer Park. It is widely believed that Chaukhandi Sarnath was originally built as a terraced temple during the Gupta period between the 4th to 6th centuries.

- The Archaeological Museum - The Archaeological Museum displays some of the finest embodiments of Buddhist art. A city which shows the most widespread ruins among Buddhist sites. Sarnath claims a rich and interesting history with 528 BC. It is here at the Deer Park in Sarnath that the Buddha preached his first discourse after he attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya.
- Deer Park or Isipatana - A lovely place to stroll in or meditate. Once as Bodhisatta was leading the herd of a deer, the local king started the indiscriminate loot of the herd. After a lot of discussions, there was an agreement between the two, according to which the deer will be offered one by one, but only when necessary. In the end, there was a turn of a doo which was giving birth soon, and as long as her child was not born, she wished to delay her turn. Bodhisattva offered himself to King instead of Dow. The King became so motivated by this selfless act that he vowed not only to kill any deer in the future but also gift the park to the deer so that he could always roam in the park. Thus the history of Deer Park or Ispat Saranath goes. There is lotus pool and a sacred bow tree in Deer Park or Ispat Saranath.
- Shrine and Ashoka Pillar - The Main Shrine called Mulagandhakuti is believed to be the hut where the Buddha used to sit in meditation during his visits to Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh. It is a huge building in a series of ruined temples and small stupas, from 18 meters to north to Dharmak Stupa in the north of Dharmarajika Stupa (the largest monument in the city of Saranath). In front of the entrance are the long courtyard house and the stupas of various sizes, which are further spread from the entrance to the Damekh Stupa.·
