Brahma Sarovar is an ancient water pool sacred to Hinduism in holy Kurukshetra. It is believed that Lord Brahma created the universe from this land. Taking a dip here during a solar eclipse is considered equivalent to performing an Ashwamedha Yajna.
Mythology
The history of this sarovar dates back to the Mahabharata. It was here that Duryodhana hid under the water to escape from the Pandavas on the final day of the Kurukshetra war. The tank finds mention in the memoirs of Al-Biruni (11th century).
