Where the Wheel of Dharma First Turned The Dhamek Stupa is a massive cylindrical Buddhist monument at Sarnath, near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, marking the Deer Park where the Buddha delivered his first sermon and set the Wheel of Dharma in motion. An earlier stupa on the spot was raised by Emperor Ashoka around 249 BCE; the present solid brick-and-stone structure, roughly 43 metres tall and 28 metres across, dates from about 500 CE in the Gupta period.
