Dhamek Stupa (also spelled Dhamekh and Dhamekha) is a massive stupa located at the archaeological site of Sarnath in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.[3] Dhamek Stupa marks the location where the Buddha preached his first discourse to his first five disciples (Kaundinya, Assaji, Bhaddiya, Vappa and Mahanama), and where all five eventually became fully liberated.[4]

However, the Dhamek was conclusively dated as a Gupta period (5th-6th century) monument (...) and was shown not to have been built by the Mauryas Emperor Ashoka
