Subject: history
Explanation: The Dhamek Stupa at Sarnath (Varanasi, UP) marks the spot where Buddha gave his first sermon — the Dharmachakra Pravartan (Turning of the Wheel of Dharma) — to his five former companions. This event is called Dharmadesana or the First Sermon. Sanchi Stupa (MP) was built by Ashoka, associated with relics of Buddha — a great example of early Buddhist art. Bharhut Stupa (MP) is famous for its sculptured railings depicting Jataka stories. Amaravati Stupa (AP) was a major Buddhist center known for its marble carvings. The four important sites in Buddha's life: Lumbini (birth), Bodh Gaya (enlightenment), Sarnath (first sermon), Kushinagar (Mahaparinirvana).
