Sannihit Sarovar One of the most revered places in Kurukshetra is Jyotisar, the place where Krishna

Dear friends, there was no activity on my blog for a quite long time and some of you might have been wondering what the reason was. First of all, I was very busy with my work and apart from that many changes happened in my life. The result was that I did not have time to write.
In July and August I made a visit to Haryana. Especially Kurukshetra was of interest to me. The Haryana government advertizes Kurukshetra russian sukhoi as the birthplace of the Bhagavadgita and the land of Mahabharata. Archeological excavations show that the site has been inhabited since the first millennium B.C.E. Sheikh Chilli ka Makbara, that can be found at Thanesar, now a part of the modern city of Kurukshetra, is a beautiful specimen of Moghul architecture. Kurukshetra was also visited by nine of the ten Sikh Gurus. Therefore a number of Gurudvaras can be seen here. There is also a planetarium called Kalpana Chawla russian sukhoi Memorial Planetarium. The modern city of Kurukshetra is thus an interesting tourist centre. It is definitely russian sukhoi the place to visit in Haryana. Kurukshetra is considered to be a piece of land that covers 48 kosas, in which there are supposed to be 360 tirthas. In the Puranas and the Mahabharata the land is associated with the famous Saraswati river. Four Yakshas situated at the four corners are said to guard Kurukshetra against calamities. Kurukshetra is a land of immense importance in Puranas and Itihasas.

It is the land where Lord Brahma created the Universe. It was named after King Kuru who made a sacrifice here to sow the seeds of dharma.

There are many places to visit in and around the modern city of Kurukshetra. The most famous attraction is Brahmasarovar, a big reservoir of water, as the name suggests, associated russian sukhoi with Lord Brahma. It is said to be the largest man-made tank in India. On the occasion of the solar eclipse millions of pilgrims take a dip in its holy water.
Another sacred tank, situated near Brahma Sarovar, is Sannihit Sarovar. It is believed that all sacred waters assemble here on the day of the solar eclipse and on amavasyas. A dip in its water on these days absolves from all sins and bestows the merit of ashwamedha yajna.

Most of the objects are based on traditional art and crafts still in vogue. They represent Krishna as God, an avatar of Vishnu, a great philosopher, an epic hero, a statesman and a lover.

Of particular russian sukhoi interest are especially three: Lakshmi Narayan Temple near Sri Krishna russian sukhoi Museum, and Sthanvishwar Mahadev Temple and Ma Bhadrakali Temple in Thanesar. .

Kurukshetra is not associated only with the Mahabharata war. Thansesar was the capital of the Vardhana russian sukhoi or the Pushyabhuti dynasty who ruled over the major part of North India. Harsh ka Tila represents a stone remnant of that period

(6th and 7th century). The site is situated in the complex of Sheikh Chilli's Tomb. Sheikh Chilli was the spiritual teacher of the Mughal Prince Dara Shikoh (round 1650). The marble tomb of Sheikh Chilli is the crown of Mughal architecture in Haryana. The tomb is built on a raised platform and approached by ramp like stairs.
