Titular city in The Doom That Came To Sarnath, located in Mnar. Although not directly connected to The Carcosa Mythos, the events surrounding Sarnath and Ib vaguely parallel those involving Carcosa (including the possible location of events in Arabia and location of both cities beside a lake). A real place called Sarnath existed in India, a major Buddhist pilgrimage site (it was sacked in the 12th century and only rediscovered by British archaeologists in the 19th century). It is located close to major Hindu and Jain pilgrimage sites. Lovecraft appears to have been unaware of it.

- Sarnath (also Mrigadava, Migadāya, Rishipattana, Isipatana) is the deer park where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of Kondanna. Sarnath is located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, India. Singhpur, a village one km away from the site, was the birth place of Shreyansanath, the eleventh Jain Tirthankar of the present age (Avasarpini), and a temple dedicated to him, is an important Jain pilgrimage.
