Brahma Sarovar: Named after Lord Brahma, the creator, this huge water tank is believed to be created over the land, where Brahma had performed his first sacrifice. According to local traditions it was firsr renovated by King Kuru, after whom the land is named Kurukshetra. It is one of the most sacred tirthas of Kurukshetra. The merits of taking bath ib the holy waters of this tank during solar eclipse have been equated with performing thousand of ashvamedha yajna (horse sacrifice). This tank is one of the largest man made bathing tank in Asia. Having seen this gigantic water body Akbar's court historian Abul Fazal called it Miniature Sea. The tank having a perimeter of 3.5 km. is divided into two halves. In between lays an island upon which it is said Yudhisthira had erected a vijayastambha (tower of victory) after Mahabharata battle. On this islanf a huge sculpture of Gita Updesh (Krishna delivering Gita to Arjun) has been installed which weighs around 35 tones. Lakhs of piligrums congregate here on the occasion of solar eclipse.Maa Bhadrakali Shaktipeetha: This temple of Kurukshetra is one out of fifty two Shaktipeethas spread over the length and breadth of the country. It is believed that right ankle of Sati fell here in the well which is known as Devikupa. To recall the event, a marble made right ankle has been placed over the well in front of the present temple. Goddess of the Peetha is called Savitri and her associated Bhairava is Sthanu. It is said that Mundana (tonsure) sacrament of Balrama and Krishna was also accomplished here. Before commencement of Mahabharata battle Pandavas along with Lord Krishna worshipped mother Goddess here and got a boon of victory from divine mother. After the Mahabharata battle the victorious Pandavas again visited the shrine and donated their best horses in the service of mother Goddess. Horses made of terracotta and metal are donated here after fulfillment of one's wishes. Bhishma Kund, Narkatari: The tirtha has its association with Mahabharata. According to the local legends, Bhishma thecommander in chief of Kauravas fell in the battle field here on the ‘th day of the battle. After his fall Bhishma requested the assembled Kauravas and Pandavas for water to quench his thrust. Kauravas offered him cool water which he denied to drink. Arjun soon understood the willingness of his great grandfather. He pierced the ground by an arrow called Prajanyastra. The water that gushed out in consequence quenched the thirst of Bhishma. The spot where Arjun's arrow struck into the ground is called Bhishma Kund. Here now lies an ancient step well. A temple nearby the shrine of Banganga depicts the scene of Bhishma Sarshaiya (Bhishma on the bed of arrows) surrounded by the Pandavas. The teachings of State craft and discipline were given by Bhishma to Yudhisthira after the end of the battle. Jyotisar - The Birth Place Of Gita: Jyotisar, the birth place of Gita is the most venerated place of Kurukshetra. It is believed to be the place where Krishna had deliverd the eternal message of Bhagvad Gita to Arjun in the battle field of Mahabharata. It is said that AdiShankracharya has identified the place during his sojourn to Himalayas. Around '8°° C.E. king of Kashmir constructed one Shiva temple here at the tirtha. Again in 924 king of Darbhanga raised a stone platform around the holy banyan tree, which stands as a witness of Bhagvad Gita - the song celestial. In 19€7 Shankracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Pitha installed the Gita Updesh chariot on the central platform. Tirtha comprises temples and a beautiful tank attached to it. Everyday light and sound show of 55 minutes is organized here which begins just after the sunset.
