Explanation

Sarnath, near Varanasi, is where Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) delivered his first sermon known as 'Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta' (Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dharma) to five ascetics. This event marks the beginning of his teaching career and the Buddhist sangha (community). Mahavira was a Jain tirthankara, and Shankaracharya was a Hindu philosopher who lived much later (8th century CE).
