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 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.
