Dhamek Stupa is located in __________.
Varanasi
The correct answer is Varanasi.
While the original structure might have been from the Ashokan period, the current Dhamek Stupa is largely from the Gupta period (around 500 CE). Ashoka erected the Ashoka Pillar nearby, the capital of which is now India's national emblem. Excavations in Sarnath have revealed many stupas, monasteries, and temples, highlighting its importance as a major Buddhist center for centuries. The Dhamek Stupa remains a significant place of pilgrimage for Buddhists from around the world.
