该系列遗产包含鹿野苑（Sarnath）的建筑和考古遗存，被认为是佛陀于公元前6世纪首次讲法并接引最早弟子的圣地。佛陀本人将鹿野苑列为佛教四大圣地之一。此后数百年间，在王室、僧团和信众的共同资助下，这里不断发展，兴建了众多佛塔、寺庙和精舍，成为重要的佛教中心。公元12世纪鹿野苑逐渐衰落，最终湮没无闻，直至18世纪被重新发现。如今，该遗址分为2处考古保护区，既是重要的旅游目的地，也是世界各地佛教徒心中复兴的朝圣地。

The serial property contains the architectural and archaeological remains of Sarnath, the sacred site where the Buddha is believed to have delivered his first sermon in the 6th century BCE and met his earliest disciples. Identified by the Buddha himself as one of the four principal Buddhist pilgrimage sites, Sarnath grew over many centuries through royal, monastic, and lay patronage, resulting in the construction of numerous stupas, temples, and viharas. After flourishing as a major Buddhist centre, Sarnath declined in the 12th century CE and fell into obscurity until its rediscovery in the 18th century. Today preserved as two archaeological zones, it remains both an important tourist destination and a revived pilgrimage site for Buddhists worldwide.
