Kurukshetra - J & K

Kurukshetra is one of the most sacred place for Hindus. Its soil is soaked with the blood and glory of the epic Mahabharata battle. From here came the kernel of Hindu belief and doctrine - the message of the Gita, which Lord Krishna gave to a doubt-ridden Arjuna on the battlefield. According to popular belief in name Kurukshetra comes from the pious king Kuru and his tribe. He was the legendary ancestor of the Kauravas and Pandavas - the warring sides in the epic Mahabharata. Till its waters vanished into the ground, the holy river Saraswati is regarded to have flowed by Kurukshetra - and many vedic hymns were composed along its banks.
