Jyotisar, Hindu temple in Kurukshetra, India

The Jyotisar temple complex features a marble chariot with statues depicting Krishna and Arjuna beneath an ancient banyan tree in Kurukshetra, Haryana.

The temple marks the location where Krishna delivered the teachings of Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna during the events of Mahabharata around 5000 years ago.

Each December, the Gita International Festival occurs at the temple, with numerous earthen lamps illuminating the banks of nearby water bodies.

The temple remains open from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily, with free admission and regular bus services connecting it to Kurukshetra central station.

A daily light and sound performance at Jyotisar lake presents episodes from the Mahabharata, while a new museum will accommodate 10,000 visitors daily.
