At a distance of three kilometres from Kurukshetra, the Sannihit Sarovar is said to be the permanent residence of Lord Vishnu.. If a person does Shradhs and bathes here during the solar eclipse, he will receive the reward of 1000 Ashwamedh sacrifices, according to mythology. It is believed that all of Tirtha’s convene here on Amavasya day.<\/p>\n
Pilgrims flock to this sacred site during a solar eclipse. Purohits, or Pandas, as they are locally known, have been the record keepers of pilgrims from all over India for centuries, and visitors can learn about their ancestors from them.
\nSikh Gurus have also made pilgrimages to this sacred spot.<\/p>\n
According to popular belief, the sacred water of the Sarovar can be found there. Taking a bath in the tank’s waters on the night of Amavasya (the night of total darkness) or on the day of an eclipse bestows the same rewards as doing the Ashvamedha Yajna.<\/p>\n
