About Kurukshetra

Kurukshetra is a city in the state of Haryana, India. According to the Puranas, Kurukshetra is a region named after King Kuru, the ancestor of Kauravas and Pandavas, as depicted in epic Mahabharata. It is also known as Dharmakshetra . The importance of the place is attributed to the fact that the Kurukshetra War of the Mahabharata was fought on this land and the Bhagavad Gita was preached here during the war when Lord Krishna found Arjuna in a terrible dilemma.

In most ancient Hindu texts, Kurukshetra is not a city but a region. The boundaries of Kurukshetra correspond roughly to the central and western parts of state of Haryana and southern Punjab.
