A
city
marked
with
temples,
sacred
tanks
and
pilgrimage
sites,
Kurukshetra,
is
known
to
be
the
witness
of
the
epic
war
between
Pandavas
and
Kauravas
as
mentioned
in
the
Mahabharata.
It
boasts
its
rich
heritage
and
past
glory
in
various
majestic
temples
and
holy
tanks
like
Brahma
Sarovar
and
Sannihit
Sarovar.
Named
after
king
Kuru,
an
ancestor
of
the
Pandavas
and
Kauravas,
Kurukshetra
has
been
a
silent
witness
to
many
great
events
through
the
course
of
the
history.
It
is
also
believed
that
Lord
Krishna
preached
the
Bhagwat
Gita
to
Arjuna
here.
The Shrimad
Bhagavad
Gita
is
700
verse
Holy
scripture
and
is
part
of
Mahabharata.
The Gita is
set
in
a
narrative
framework
of
a
dialogue
between Pandava prince Arjuna and
his
guide
and
charioteer Krishna,
the
Supreme
Personality
of
Godhead.
On
the
brink
of
a
great
battle
between
warring
branches
of
the
same
family,
Arjuna
is
suddenly
overwhelmed
with
misgivings
about
the justice of
killing
so
many
people,
some
of
whom
are
his
friends
and
relatives,
and
expresses
his
qualms
to
Krishna,
his
charioteer—a
combination
bodyguard
and
court
historian.
Krishna’s
replies
to
the
queries/
doubts
are
the
holy
teachings
about
right
and
wrong,
soul
and
body,
karam
and
yoga
and
till
today
act
as
the
guidelines
for
a
true
living
to
attain
inner
peace
and
satisfaction.
As
a
mark
of
remembrance
of
such
a
divine
event
to
have
occured
in
Kurukshetra,
a
35
foot
high
,
45
tonne
bronze
statue
of
the
moment
when
Lord
Krishna
delivered
the
holy
message
to
Arjuna,
has
been
installed
near
Brahm
Sarovar.
The
chariot
represents
the
human
body.
The
horses
represent
the
senses.
The
chariot's
reins,
which
the
charioteer
uses
to
drive
his
vehicle,
symbolize
the
human
mind.
