After enlightenment, Buddha began teaching people the Truth; he chose Benaras to teach his first sermon because it was considered one of the most holy places situated on the bank of the sacred river, the Ganges. Many people in search of wisdom and truth visited this city. So, in order to spread his teachings to these seekers, Buddha decided to preach his sermon here.
