Tourist Places in Kurukshetra

By Madhuri ThakurMadhuri Thakur

District Kurukshetra

In Haryana sits Kurukshetra, one of India’s most revered historical sites. With the Battle of Kurukshetra taking place here, Kurukshetra has a rich history. The Jyotisar, a place in Kurukshetra is where Krishna preached  Mahabharata’s Gita to Arjuna. In order to absorb all knowledge in the world, Ashoka, the Great Emperor, traveled to Kurukshetra. The Harappa culture formerly flourished in this metropolis, and the city is currently maintained in an extremely magnificent manner.

Tourist Places in Kurukshetra

Kurukshetra has recently grown to be a well-liked tourist destination because it contains a lot of museums, temples, and monuments to look up to. Let’s look at a few Tourist Places in Kurukshetra.

#1 Brahma Sarovar

Brahma Sarovar, the most popular tourist destination in Kurukshetra, is the largest manmade lake in Asia. According to Hinduism, Lord Brahma, who created this universe, is the inspiration for the name of this lake. According to believers, the performance of Brahma Ji’s first Yagya is exactly at this lake. Furthermore, King Kuru remodeled this area.

You can visit idols and statues from the Mahabharata at the Sri Krishna Museum. This area is a devotion to the Mahabharata War and Lord Krishna’s Instructions to Arjun. This location also has historical and spiritual significance. Visitors can view idols and texts that appear to be from the “Harappan civilization.”

The miracles of Lord Shri Krishna and Bhisham Pitamah are shown in statues in a wonderful way. In addition, the preservings of the incredible history of the Mahabharata are in the Sri Krishna Museum, along with other inventions and tools utilized on a daily basis in ancient times.

In the legendary age, Bhishma Kund is also connected to the Mahabharata and is highly significant. This is the exact spot where Bhishma lied forcefully after shot on the bed of arrows laid out by Arjuna. On the arrows’ bed, he observed the conflict forcefully.

And when Bhishma became thirsty, Arjuna released an arrow to cause a water spring to appear, quenching Bhishma’s thirst. In modern times, the location is popular as Bhishma’s Kund. The Kund is a peaceful location with intricately crafted structures.
