★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was the prime place of worship by the World Buddhist Community, and was constructed by Anagarika Dharmapala, a noble son of Sri Lanka and founder of the Maha Bodhi Society of India. It was inaugerated in the year 1931 and enshrined the sacred relics of Sakhyamuni Buddha. It is located in the Isipatana Deer Park at the eastern side of that place where Buddha preached first sermon. Its wall paintings on Buddha's important episode of life, was done by a famous Japanese artist Kosetsu Nosu during the years 1932-1936. The exposition of the sacred relics for the public and its annual procession around Sarnath falls on Kartik Purnima, full moon day in the month of November.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mulagandha Kuti Vihar Parisar.
Situated near the main chowk of Sarnath, where the roads divides, the Mulagandha Kuti Vihar monastery was built in 1931 with donations from various countries and the international Buddhist community. There are spires on top of the huge building that make it seem like a church. The Vihara is enshrined with the sacred relics of Sakyamuni Buddha.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located 13 km from Varanasi, it is an ancient pilgrimage site that attracts Buddhist devotees from around the world.
This temple is considered the crowning achievement of Anagarika Dharmapala (SriLankan), who founded the Maha Bodhi Society in 1891 with the aim of resurrecting the prominence of Buddhism in India and restoring the ancient Buddhist shrines at Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, and Kushinara.
Bhagwan Buddha journey- Lumbini (birth), Enlightenment( Bodhgaya), Sermon (Sarnath), and Moksha (Kushinagar)
Interesting story: Emperor Ashoka’s daughter, Bhikkhuni Sanghamitta, visited the Bodhi tree at Bodhi Gaya where Buddha achieved enlightenment, and took a branch cutting and planted it at Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. The tree flourished, from which a sapling was taken by Anagarika Dharmapala and planted here in 1931. you can see here Buddha’s first sermon to their first five disciples

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In spite of the fact that this is the most recently built Buddhist temple & monastery in Sarnath, it is almost a century old.
It is a visual treat and a virtual feast for lovers of architecture. There is a Bodhi tree that has been grown from the tree in Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka, which in turn is said to originate from the very tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment.
There are some beautiful frescos on the inner walls of the temple.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mulagandha Kuti Vihar, Sarnath, built by Angarika Dharmapala in 1931, the founder of Mahabodhi society. The inside walls and ceilings are made with fresco painting depicting scenes from Buddha’s life. Towards the right there's also another place where under a tree a depicted statues of Buddha and his disciples are made.
It's a very nice place to visit, parks are there surrounding the main building to spend sometime, can visit with family, kids, friends and enjoy the shrine. The maintenance and management is not of a good level, cleanliness is of moderate level, security is not there, parking is not available, needs to be a bit more maintained.
