Huge sacred bathing tank at the heart of Kurukshetra, centre of the Gita Mahotsav and solar-eclipse bathing fairs.
Brahma Sarovar is one of the most revered water tanks in Hinduism, linked by legend to Lord Brahma and to the Mahabharata. Incredible India gives its size as about 3,600 ft long, 1,500 ft wide and 45 ft deep, calling it one of Asia's largest man-made ponds. Pilgrims bathe here during solar eclipses, and every November-December the International Gita Mahotsav fills its banks with lamps (deep daan), aarti and craft fairs; migratory birds also arrive in winter.
