Kurukshetra, Religious metropolis in Haryana, India.
Kurukshetra encompasses 1530 square kilometers between the Sarasvati and Drishadvati rivers, with numerous temples and archaeological monuments scattered throughout the region.
Archaeological findings reveal that Kurukshetra predates the Harappan civilization and functioned as a center of Vedic learning where ancient texts were developed.
The International Gita Mahotsav in November draws thousands of participants to commemorate the teachings revealed by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield.
The Kurukshetra Junction railway station connects pilgrims to major transportation routes while the city maintains restrictions on meat consumption due to its holy status.
The Brahma Sarovar, among the largest man-made water tanks in Asia, serves as a central location for ritual bathing during solar eclipses.
