It is actually a very good place to spend atleast 2-3 hours in kurukshetra. The whole theme is superb. On the first floor we can see sculptures belongs to Mahabharata war with sound effects and one will surely enjoy. Different kind of mirrors on ground floor is full fun. I went there with my cousins and thoroughly enjoy. Moreover location is good. It is located in the center of the kurukshetra city, near Bhramsarover pilligrim place.

Entry ticket is rs 30. It is next to panorama. It is better than panorama. It gives insight on lord Krishna. Worth a visit though I feel they could have made it better.

The place has historic significance in the form of the great tree that has supposedly witnessed the sermon of Krishna to Arjun captured in Bhagvad Geeta. The place otherwise has nothing noteworthy, however, there is a light and sound show that is conducted every evening at 6 PM (it's free currently), which was really nice and well executed. Used the landscape, the trees as well as water fountains to depict the key scenes and story of Kurukshetra, especially focusing on Geeta. Must visit for the historic appeal and the show. It's a little isolated and transport can be difficult, so plan well, carry a wrap to enjoy the 40 mins show.

It is believed that this is an ancient temple more than 5000 years old. As per the legend, God Brahma laid the first lingam of God Shiva here and hence, he was first worshiped in this temple only. It is also believed that Pandavas along with Krishna prayed to Lord Shiva at this temple for his blessings for victory in the battle of Mahabharata.

It is a huge sarovar which means a water body. It gives a description of the mahabharata fight on the pillars of the sarovar. There is a huge bronze chariot where lord Krishna is giving gita gyan to arjuna and this has been installed at the middle of the sarovar and this is simply magnificent. Along the bronze chariot there are various temples of god and goddess. As I went on a amavasya day, it is customary to have a dip at the sarovar to get rid of your sins. Pl go in the evening or early morning as it becomes very difficult to walk in the hot season. Except for the bronze chariot and the huge water body there is nothing much to see there. The govt should have battery cars to enable people to go around the sarovar as it takes nearly one to two hours on foot. This is the most prominent place to see at kurukshetra after shri devikoop bhadrakali temple which is a shaktipeeth.

An unexpectedly crowd free and easily accessible Shaktipeeth in Kurukshetra where one can pray in peace. This is supposed to be the place where the Devi's right ankle fell - the silver replica of the same is the primary deity. The compound also has a small temple dedicated to the ill-fated chakravyuh in Mahabharata.

Visited this place in March 2017 and found it an excellent place for girls, so that they get motivated and inspired to follow into her footsteps. It is on the main Kurukshetra-Pehova Road.
