Sarnath or Sārnātha (also Mrigadava, Migadāya, Rishipattana, Isipatana) is the deer park where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence. Sarnath is located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, India.<br/><br/>

Isipatana is mentioned by the Buddha as one of the four places of pilgrimage which his devout followers should visit, if they wish to visit a place for that reason.
