'''Sannihit Sarovar''' is a [[sacred]] [[water reservoir]] in [[Kurukshetra city ]], in the [[Kurukshetra district]] of [[Haryana, India]]. It is believed to be the meeting point of seven sacred [[Sarasvati River|Sarasvati]]s.<ref>{{cite web | title = Tirath in Kurukshetra - Sannehit Sarovar|publisher=Kurukshetra district website | url = http://www.kurukshetra.nic.in/tour/Religious/tirath/Kurukshetra/011-sanhitsarovar/index.htm | access-date = 2014-08-08 }}</ref> The ''sarovar'', according to popular belief, contains sacred water. Bathing in the waters of the [[tank]] on the day of [[Amavasya]] (night of complete darkness), or on the day of an [[eclipse]] is believed to bestow blessings equivalent to performing the ''[[Ashvamedha|ashvamedh yajna]]''.<br />
<br />
The pond, an important part of [[48 Kos Parikrama of Kurukshetra]], is believed to be the meeting point of [[Rigvedic rivers|seven sacred Saraswatis]] (see also [[Sapta Sindhu]]). The Sarovar, according to popular belief, contains sacred water. Bathing in the waters of the tank on the day of Amavasya (night of complete darkness) or on the day of an eclipse bestows blessings equivalent to performing the [[Ashvamedha]] [[Yajna]].<br />
<br />
Bathing in this ''sarovar'' is believed to offer peace to wandering and unhappy souls. Prayers and ''pind daan'', a [[memorial service]] for the dead, is performed here. The [[Hindu genealogy registers at Kurukshetra, Haryana]] are also kept here. Alongside the sarovar are small shrines dedicated to Lord [[Vishnu]], Dhruv Narayan, Laxmi Narayan, Dhruv Bhagat, Sri [[Hanuman]] and Goddess [[Durga]]. The Sannihit Sarovar is believed to be the abode of Lord [[Vishnu]].{{cn|date=May 2016}}<br />
