Why This Place Matters

An ancient Shiva temple believed to house a sacred Kalasha (water pot) with mystical properties. This is one of the lesser-known but spiritually powerful Shiva shrines in Kurukshetra, frequented by serious practitioners and yogis.

Mahabharata Connection

According to local tradition, sages who gathered in Kurukshetra after the Mahabharata war established this Shivalinga to purify the land from the violence of war. The perpetual water in the Kalasha represents the eternal flow of divine grace that cleanses all sins.
