The green land that you can see today, once turned red with the blood of one of the mightest clans of Hindu mythology, the 'Kauravas'. But it is only here that the lotus of self-enlightment bloomed in the heart of valiant 'Arjuna', it is here that Lord Krishna preached about the goals of human life and 'Karma'. Welcome to the chapters of Kurukshetra (Land of Kauravas) that tell the tales of blood and blade and of course modern day politics. The town is dotted with numerous sacred shrines and is a revered place for Hindu pilgrimage. Visit the famous Brahma Sarover, a sacred water tank caressing the cradle of civilization. A holy bath during new moon is said to bring salvation form all sins. Besides you can also enjoy the radiant Deep Daan ceremony, a bustling sphere of devotion when earthen lamps carrying flowers and coconuts are floated on the shimmering waters and the whole ambience reverberates with spiritual hymes and prayers.
