Bhishma Kund

Kurukshetra, Haryana, India
This is a small water tank that is a significant site for Hindu pilgrims. It is believed to be the place where the great warrior Bhishma, lying on a bed of arrows during the Mahabharata war, was given water by Arjuna from a spring that he created by shooting an arrow into the ground. The place is a great example of a living monument to the epic story of the Mahabharata. The place has a beautiful temple and a small museum that showcases the history and mythology of the place. The serene and spiritual atmosphere of the place makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in the history and mythology of the region.
