    This place is near to Faculty of fine art Kurukshetra university To visit this anyone can enter though University Gate No 1 A narrow street before university gate no 1 also goes to this Stupa but its difficult to find.This street have main entrance of stupa. This stupa is near BHRAHAM SROVER Historical Description : Buddhism, however, seemed to have received a fresh lease during the reign of the Puspabhutis. Rajyavardhana has been mentioned as Parama Saugata in Harsa;s Madhuvan and Banskhera inscriptions. It was however during the long rule of Harsavardhana that Buddhism received an impetus again in the region. The Chinese pilgrim Yuan Chawang, who visited India during his time describes three Buddhist monasteries with more than 700 Hinayanists at Thanesar. We have already referred to the Ashokan stupas seen by him at the site mentioned above. Though he does not specifically mention any stupas still in worship at the time of his visit, yet such stupas may have existed then. The remains of one such stupa may still be seen on an elevated ground between the Brahma Sarovara and the Kurukshetra University. It is lying in a neglected and dilapidated state now and seems to have been opened by someone as is indicated by a cleft in its solid brick core. When and by whom, nobody knows.

    Nice place for Believers of Buddhism, it gives a historic idea of the thriving times of the thought; Presently it's home for Monkeys & stray dogs freely move around. Population of Monkeys is large creating a sense of fear to go near the Stupa.

    Few years back when I was there, we used to pass our time there. Nobody knew what it untill ASI developed it. We used to wonder why they have left bricks like this. Good to see they developed it we came to know it's importance. If I had some knowledge by then about this place history, I definitely would have taken one brick as a collection.
