Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh

India

Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh holds 93 Bunkabop connections with 1701 other places across 16 topics, spanning Indian history, Buddhism, landmarks, and art. Its Buddhist significance draws many shared connections with Bodh Gaya, Varanasi, and China, tracing the spread of Buddhism across Asia. Pala rulers (8th–11th centuries) patronised it as an existing mahavihara alongside Nalanda, while separately building new ones such as Vikramashila. The site also appears in India's Presidential standard, where a lotus vase from Sarnath represents prosperity.
