Here is the view of Standing Buddha inside Sarnath Mandir.
The Idea Behind the Statue
A joint Indo-Thai project, the idea of construction of the Buddha statue was first conceived in 1970 at the time of formation of society. The founder members of the society, Rasmi Shashan (a Buddhist monk of Indian origin) and Prakash Samadhiguna (monk of Thai origin) decided to build a standing statue of Lord Buddha at Sarnath, where Lord Buddha preached his first sermon.
The construction of statue is said to have started as a gesture to protest the destruction of Buddhist statues in many parts of the world. Located in the confines of the Thai Temple in Sarnath, the statue consists of as many as 815 stones. There is a beautiful garden around the statue that compliments the overall surroundings.
One of the main attractions of Sarnath is the 80 ft high statue of Buddha. It is India’s tallest standing statue of Lord Buddha. It took 14 years to construct this statue. The work on the statue was started in 1997 and it was unveiled in 2011. This standing statue of Buddha is located on the premises of Thai Buddha Vihar in Sarnath.
This 80-ft Buddha statue made from sandstone is a result of joint efforts between India and Thailand. The standing statue of Lord Buddha is built over an area of 2.5 acre inside the premises of Thai Buddha Vihar (earlier known as Mrigdayavan Mahavihar Society).
Sarnath Museum is the oldest site museum of Archaeological Survey of India. It houses the findings and excavations at the archaeological site of Sarnath, by the Archaeological Survey of India. Sarnath is located near Varanasi, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The museum has 6,832 sculptures and artifacts. Ashoka's Lion capital - This is the famous original sandstone sculpted Lion Capital of Ashoka preserved at Sarnath Museum, which was originally erected around 250 BCE atop an Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath. The angle from which this picture has been taken, minus the inverted bell-shaped lotus flower, has been adopted as the National Emblem of India showing the Horse on the left and the Bull on the right of the Ashoka Chakra in the circular base on which the four Indian lions are standing back to back. On the far side there is an Elephant and a Lion instead. The wheel Ashoka Chakra from its base has been placed onto the center of the National Flag of India. Sarnath has yielded a rich collection of sculptures, artifacts and edifices comprising numerous Buddha and Bodhisattva images and other ancient remains. Finest specimens of Buddhist art and other important remains have been housed at the museum.
The Biggest Pilgrimage of INDIA | VARANASI | Buddhist Temple | Thai Govt.
Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is a city on the banks of the river Ganga in Uttar Pradesh, India. A major religious hub in India, it is the holiest of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism and Jainism, and played an important role in the development of Buddhism and Ravidassia.
Varanasi lies along National Highway 2, which connects it to Kolkata, Kanpur, Agra, and Delhi, and is served by Varanasi Junction railway station and Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport.
Varanasi grew as an important industrial centre, famous for its muslin and silk fabrics, perfumes, ivory works, and sculpture. Buddha is believed to have founded Buddhism here around 528 BCE when he gave his first sermon at nearby Sarnath.
Varanasi has been a cultural centre of North India for several thousand years, and is closely associated with the Ganges. Hindus believe that death in the city will bring salvation, making it a major centre for pilgrimage. The city is known worldwide for its many ghats, embankments made in steps of stone slabs along the river bank where pilgrims perform ritual ablutions. Of particular note are the Dashashwamedh Ghat, the Panchganga Ghat, the Manikarnika Ghat and the Harishchandra Ghat, the last two being where Hindus cremate their dead and the Hindu genealogy registers at Varanasi are kept here.
I took 3N/4D time to explore the entire city.
Also tried here to represent entire journey through some pictorial memory.
Unfortunately, over here in some temples, photography is strictly prohibited so it's not possible for me to capture some world famous temple pics like Biswanath Temple, Sankatmochan Temple, Durga Ma Temple and many more.
Hope you all are going to like this video.

Sarnath Thai Temple With Giant Buddha Statue Near Varanasi Benares India
Just a few steps from the Sarnath archaeological museum is a Thai temple built in 1933 with a giant Buddha statue set in beautiful grounds.
Varanasi, India: The Important Buddhist Site of Sarnath
It is a short ride from Varanasi to Sarnath located on the outskirts of Varanasi where Lord Buddha is said to have delivered his first sermon after enlightenment; preaching his four noble truths. The Buddha was enlightened in Bodhgaya and then went to Sarnath seeking his five former companions, taught them what he learned and they also became enlightened.
Important sights are: the Dharmekh Stupa (128 feet high, 93 feet in diameter) dating from around 200 BC and said to be the spot on which Buddha preached his first sermon; Mulangandhakuti Vihara where a small cottage once stood that Buddha lived in; and what remains of the Ashokan pillars with two writings on it. A lion capital once topped the Ashoka Pillar and is now on display inside the Sarnath Archaeological Museum; sorry no photos allowed inside and would you believe they didn't even sell a postcard of the exquisite lions?

Sarnath is located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi near the confluence of the Ganges and the Gomati rivers, in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Sarnath Varanasi Video Visit Temples Stupas Pillars & Gardens, Indian Food Paneer. India Travel Vlog
India video of Sarnath Varanasi and Indian Food (Paneer). India Travel Vlog from Travel with Simon. Stupas, Pillars, temples and gardens.
Varanasi (also known as Benares, Banaras and/or Kashi) in Uttar Pradesh India is known as the spiritual capital of India, but as a tourist Varanasi city itself it can be a bit intense. Nearby (about 13km from town) and well worth a visit is Sarnath, the holiest of seven sacred cities in Hinduism and Jainism.
Lord Buddha is said to have preached his first sermon at the Dhamekh Stupa at Sarnath, making it one of the most recognisable sites of Buddhism in India and thronged with followers of Buddhism as well as tourists, but it’s still quiet in comparison to the chaos of Varanasi and international visitors to the area will enjoy the green of the gardens as well as the temples, pillars and stupas.
The archaeological museum at Sarnath is the oldest site museum of Archaeological Survey of India. The Lion Capitol of Ashoka (a sculpture of four lions standing back to back) which forms the basis of the official Emblem of India was originally placed atop the Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath, but is now housed in the Sarnath Museum.
All the temples, shrines and points of interest in Sarnath including the Dhamekh stupa, the ruins of the Mulagandha Kuti, the main shrine where Buddha is said to have sat in meditation, the Chaukhandi stupa and the golden temple at Sarnath are within walking distance of the museum.
After haggling over the cost of a Tuk Tuk to get from Varanasi to Sarnath, and exploring the temples, archaeological sites and gardens of Sarnath, I also get to taste some of my first Indian food, including paneer.
Join me in my next video of India when I return to the holy city of Varanasi to see the ghats and watch the ceremonies on the bank of the Ganges river.
