Kurukshetra (Brahma Sarovar)

Kurukshetra (Brahma Sarovar)

Kurukshetra is the battlefield of the Mahabharata and the ground where the Bhagavad Gita was spoken. Its heart is the vast Brahma Sarovar, one of India's largest sacred tanks, ringed by ghats and shrines where lakhs bathe during solar eclipses. Nearby lie Jyotisar, the banyan under which Krishna is said to have counselled Arjuna, the Sannihit Sarovar, and the modern Sri Krishna and panorama museums that retell the epic.

Bhadrakali Temple (Kurukshetra)

Bhadrakali Temple (Kurukshetra)

Bhadrakali Temple (Kurukshetra) in Thanesar, Kurukshetra, Haryana is one of the Shakti Peethas, the sacred shrines of the Divine Mother in the Shakta tradition of Hinduism. According to tradition, this is where the ankle bone of Goddess Sati fell when Lord Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra divided her body. Here the Goddess is worshipped as Savitri (Bhadrakali), and her guardian Bhairava (a form of Shiva) as Sthanu. Shakti Peethas are among the holiest pilgrimage sites for devotees of the Goddess, drawing pilgrims especially during Navratri and Durga Puja. Each is tied to the legend of Sati, whose body parts fell across the Indian subcontinent and beyond, sanctifying the ground where they landed.
