Brahma Sarovar, Thanesar, Haryana

The Brahma Sarovar is a water tank located about 220 metres south of the Kurukshetra–Pipli Road in Kurukshetra district of Haryana. According to local tradition, it was originally excavated by King Kuru, the legendary ancestor of the Kauravas and Pandavas, and is associated with the belief that Lord Brahma created the universe at this site. The present structure, built of brick and cement mortar, includes modern ghats and surrounding constructions that appear to date largely to the 21st century. Though unprotected, the sarovar remains in good condition and continues to serve as an important pilgrimage centre.
