This is the most wonderful place for nature lovers. The garden is located just behind the Chaukhandi Stupa and has recently been opened after extensive renovations. The garden is lush and green, filled with stone sculptures. It is very beautiful, and all the shrubs are well-pruned, which is soothing for the eyes. One can relax and walk on the green grass. There are stone benches all around the garden where visitors can sit, relax, and enjoy the view. There are also shaded areas under trees where travelers can sit and meditate.
The Garden of Spiritual Wisdom
There are stone tablets scattered throughout the garden, inscribed with famous sayings and the essential philosophy of Buddha, along with his teachings, including the Eightfold Path. For a layperson, this is very educational, as one can learn about the fundamental ethos of the Buddhist faith and its core philosophy.
One can sit under the trees and enjoy a chat with fellow travelers. It is very calm and peaceful to stroll through this garden, and just like its name suggests, one can attain a great deal of spiritual wisdom here.
There is also a separate section dedicated to Ayurvedic herbal plants in the garden. The Ayurvedic system of traditional Indian medicine practices harmony with nature, with simplicity and contentment as the keys to well-being.
A must-see for all visitors to Sarnath.
