    Sarnath

    B.

    Shravasti

    C.

    Bodh Gaya

    D.

    Rajgrih

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (a) Sarnath

    Explanation:
    Gautam Buddha started his first sermon, known as Dharmachakra Pravartan, at Sarnath, near Varanasi.
    • This event marked the beginning of his teaching after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya.
    • In this sermon, Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which form the foundation of Buddhist philosophy.
    • Sarnath is one of the four holy places for Buddhists, associated with Buddha's teachings and the establishment of the Buddhist community.
    • The location is also where Buddha's first disciples, the five ascetics, received his teachings and became his first followers.

    Information Booster:
    Sarnath is a significant pilgrimage site for Buddhists, where the ruins of ancient monasteries and stupas still exist.
    • The Dharmachakra Pravartan is considered the first step in spreading the Buddhist philosophy across the world.
    • The Sarnath stupa and the Deer Park are key historical landmarks tied to this event.

    Additional Knowledge:
    (b) Shravasti: Shravasti is where Buddha performed many miracles, but it is not the location for his first sermon.
    (c) Bodh Gaya: Bodh Gaya is where Buddha attained enlightenment, but not where the Dharmachakra Pravartan was given.
    (d) Rajgrih: Rajgrih is associated with Buddha’s teachings and the place where he stayed at various points, but it was not the site of the first sermon.
