Sannihit Sarovar Tourism

Sannihit Sarovar is a sacred water reservoir situated in the holy city of Kurukshetra, Haryana, India. Believed to be the meeting point of seven sacred Saraswatis, the sarovar carries immense religious significance for Hindu devotees, who flock here to perform rituals for the salvation of ancestors, particularly during the Amavasya (new moon) day when the waters are considered to be especially sanctified. Spanning over an area of about 5 acres, according to the Mahabharata, this site was the abode of Lord Vishnu during the great battle of Mahabharata, and taking a dip here is equated to merit of performing an Ashvamedha Yajna. The sarovar is flanked by temples dedicated to various Hindu deities like Lord Shiva, Dhruva Narayan, Sita Ram, Hanuman, and Durga, adding to its religious prominence. The architecture of the ghats and surrounding temples is simple yet holds historical essence. The sarovar precincts are dotted with small shrines and offer a peaceful atmosphere. A holy dip here, especially during solar and lunar eclipses, is considered highly auspicious.
