    Vajra Vidya institute is beyond expression in word of outer beautiful even so visitors get cool and peace inspire in their inner self. Feel comfortable and trustable to any monk of this area who has totally perfected real vow of buddhist. All monk of this monastery are very excited and curious to learn new things and especially their own philosophy which guided to the way of truth.

    The temple is so less known in Sarnath that it hardly gets any tourists. Even locals of Varanasi don't know about this temple. But it is one of the most beautiful Buddhist temple I've ever seen. Because there are no tourists, this place is very serene. Be respectful and obey the rules (like no photography inside the temple, but you could click pictures in the compound). It is located in the village behind the main Sarnath Chauraha. Just follow Google Maps and you'll reach here. It's not open to visitors all day long so you'll have to make sure about the time. We visited in the morning around 10am. PS: Dalai Lama visited this place.

    A lesser known place in Sarnath. Abode of Dalai Lama when he visits India. People normally don't visit here, but a must see place. Very neat and clean and marvellously built.

    A very quiet place. When I went there, I hardly saw any tourists. but later two people came, we went inside. On entering I felt china vibes because of the monument design. I have only seen it on Tvs so It was quite surprising for me. Inside the monument It has a giant Buddha statue. Monks were worshipping when we visited . You won't believe the place is in Galis. Initially I had a hard time finding it but thanks to gmap.

    A Nepali monastery in Sarnath. It is one of the most beautiful monasteries but is situated in the middle of a village. If someone is visiting Sarnath then they must visit the place. A well-maintained and peaceful place and not far from the main excavation site of Ashoka Pillar.

    One of the holiest place to visit on this earth. The divine feeling to visit this place is unparalleled. The evening and morning sight is something to cherish. The Golden Temple, Sri Harimandir Sahib is not only a central religious place of the Sikhs, but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality.

    This temple is called the Vajra temple. It is a beautiful temple built in traditional style. The carvings, painting are incredibly beautiful. The lawns and gardens are well kept and manicured. This temple should be on the itinerary of all visitors to Sarnath.

    The best place to spend quality time with yourself, when u r around, the craving painting on the wall just after entering, beautiful temple with Serene ambiance, you will hardly find crowd at this place, rather u can see monks walking around and young kid monks playing around, the chirping voices of birds, it's so blissful out there ☺️

  • 5/5 Vishal P. 4 years ago on Google
    First of all the place is simply beautiful and the architecture is amazing. You can see little children and monks offering prayers and learning here. The best part is that this place is not as crowded as the temple or the museum as it's a bit far from the main Sarnath site. One can even go inside see Buddha statue and thetemple from inside. You should not miss this place as it's some kind of other world inside.
