Premise is beautiful. It is a prominent pilgrims’ as well as tourists’ attraction in Kurukshetra.
Good place, yet to be maintained well..
Thus place is the witness of a great history. Pitamah bhishma was on baan shaiya when he was hit by the arch of Arjuna. After battle, lord bhishma asked for water due to thirst. Arjuna hit an arch to the land and gangaji appeared to kill the thirst of pitamaha. Hence this place is called "Bhishma Kund". This is must visit place if you are in Kurukshetra but it is maintained poorly. Local authorities should focus on maintenance.
Very nice and claim environment
Place where Arjun got this and their side horses washed and quenched after thirst.
Very important religious place . But not given the importance . Not developed by the local government. A must visit place in kurukshetra
The place mentioned in great epic mahabharat where Arjun understand the sign of bhishma to drink water without glass and leave an arrow by his gandiv on earth and a small dhar of Ganga out from ground direct to the bhishma mouth
