One of the holiest and widely visited places in India is the holy land of Kurukshetra. Also known as Dharmakshetra, the land of Kurukshetra is has historic and religious value and is one of the most significant locations for Indians. It is also considered to be the cradle of Indian civilization and culture.
Kurukshetra is significant in Hindu culture as it is the location of the epic 18 day battle which is mentioned in the Mahabharata. This battle was fought between the Pandavas and Kauravas, where ultimately the Pandavas, upholders of everything noble, were victorious. It is at the eve of this epic battle that Lord Krishna recited the Bhagavad Gita (Celestial Song) to Arjuna as he was wavering in his duty. The Bhagavad Gita contains all that is holy and noble in Hindu philosophy, and is one of the most sacred messages of Hinduism. The land is famous for the flourishing civilization it once had with an abundance of lakes and lovely wonders of nature. Its people were brave, hardworking and religious. Kurukshetra was also visited by almost all of the Sikh Gurus who praised the land. Another reason for its importance is that it has served as a ground for several battles where brave warriors of the soil defended their nation from invaders.
There are several important landmarks reflecting the historic and cultural value of Kurukshetra. Among these are Brahma Sarovar; the holy bathing site believed to be able to wash away all sins and curses, the Sannihit Sarovar; another holy bathing site containing sacred water, Jyotisar; the exact location where the Bhagavad Gita was recited, and the Krishna Museum containing valuable artefacts and art related to Mahabharata. Due to its immense historic and religious value, thousands of people visit Kurukshetra each year, to experience its holy and spiritual aura.
