Why This Place Matters
Sacred kund where Bhishma lay on bed of arrows for 58 days. One of most emotionally powerful and historically important sites in Kurukshetra.
Mahabharata Connection
Mortally wounded, Bhishma waited for auspicious Uttarayan on bed of arrows, giving spiritual discourse to Yudhishthira. This kund marks that spot. Nearby Ban Ganga emerged when Arjuna shot arrow for his thirst.
