Which one of the following does not form part of the Buddhist circuit in Uttar Pradesh ?

Kapilvastu
Kushinagar
Sankisa
Shravasti

The correct answer is (c) Sankisa.

The Buddhist circuit in Uttar Pradesh is a group of pilgrimage sites associated with the life of Gautama Buddha. The sites include Lumbini, where he was born; Bodh Gaya, where he attained enlightenment; Sarnath, where he gave his first sermon; and Kushinagar, where he died. Sankisa is not included in this circuit because it is not associated with any of these events.

Kapilvastu was the capital of the Shakya kingdom, where Buddha was born. Kushinagar is the site of Buddha’s death and Parinirvana. Shravasti was the capital of the Kosala kingdom, where Buddha spent many years teaching. Sankisa is a town in the Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is located about 100 kilometers from Lucknow. The town is associated with the Buddha’s visit to the Sankisa Deer Park, where he delivered the Mahaparinirvana Sutra.

The Buddhist circuit in Uttar Pradesh is a popular tourist destination. The sites are well-preserved and offer a glimpse into the life of the Buddha.
