Phalgu
Tirth
is
an
Indian
pilgrimage
site,
where
pilgrimages
are
undertaken
by
the
Hindus
during
the
Shraadhs.
It
is
located
in
Pharal
village
in
the
Pundri
sub-tehsil
of
Kaithal
district
in
Haryana
state.[1]
Pharal
village
is
located
between
Pundri
and
Dhand
in
Kaithal
district
24
kilometres
(15
mi)
away
from
district
headquarter
Kaithal
and
is
34
kilometres
(21
mi)
to
Kurukshetra
city.
During
the
Shraddha,
Phalgu
Mela
(Phalgu
fair)
takes
plece
here
and
the
Hindus
make
offerings
in
the
form
of
pindadana
(offerings
of
balls
of
food)
in
the
remembrances
of
their
ancestors.
It
is
believed
that
the
offerings
(pindadana)
done
in
favour
of
forefathers
at
the
place
relieves
their
soul
from
the
cycle
of
rebirth.[3]
In
a
way
it
is
like
taking
care
of
the
atma
of
the
deceased
parents
for
a
good
place
in
heaven.
The
pindas,
after
chanting
prayers,
are
offered
to
the
sacred
pond
at
the
heart
of
Pharal
Village.
The
road
between
Dhand
and
Pharal
is
3
m
wide
and
during
the
pilgrimage,
because
of
heavy
rush
of
pilgrims
it
becomes
very
difficult
to
reach
the
sacred
pond.
