Jyotisar

Jyotisar is a temple in Kurukshetra featuring a marble chariot with statues of Krishna and Arjuna positioned beneath an ancient banyan tree. The complex sits near a lake and includes multiple buildings, pathways, and spaces for visitors to explore.

According to Hindu tradition, this was where Krishna imparted his teachings to the warrior Arjuna before a great battle began. This episode became the foundation of a spiritual philosophy that has been honored in the region for many centuries.

The name refers to the divine light that Krishna is said to have radiated during his teachings. Visitors can sit beneath the ancient banyan tree, where people have gathered for generations to reflect on spiritual matters.

The grounds are easily accessible during the day, with various areas to explore at your own pace. Public transportation connects the temple to the nearby city, and the site is well signposted for visitors.

The site features episodes from an ancient battle through regular performances using light and music to tell the story. These modern presentations allow visitors to experience ancient narratives in a contemporary way.
