Kurukshetra Festival
December
Kurukshetra, Haryana
The thrilling battlefield of the Pandava and Kaurava cousins from the Mahabharata comes alive in November/December to pay homage to the supreme book of the Hindus – the Gita. It is on this ground that Lord Krishna explained his teachings to Arjuna, via a celestial song, now famous as the Shrimad Bhagwat Gita. Celebrated to commemorate the birth of this Holy book, the Kurukshetra Festival sees much fervour and exhilaration.
