The picture depicts the complete map of all these sites.

Since this is a site associated with the [[vedic era]] Lord [[Krishna]] and [[mahabharata]], it is an important place of [[pilgrimage]] for [[Hindu]]s. It is one of 3 main pilgrimage sites related to ''"Krishna"'' circuit, namely ''"48 kos parikrama of Kurukshetra"'' in Haryana, ''"[[Vraja Parikrama|Braj parikarma]]"'' in [[Mathura]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]] state and "''[[Dwarkadhish Temple#Pilgrimage|Dwarka parkarma]]"'' (Dwarkadish yatra) at [[Dwarkadhish Temple]] in [[Gujarat]] state.

==Main sites==

===Hindu and Jain pilgrimage===

Lord Krishna, [[Kaurava]] and [[Pandava]] visited and lived in this area, and it is revered as their [[Karma]] [[Bhūmi]] (most sacred land of virtuous deeds) also related to the [[Classical element#Classical elements in Hinduism|five classical elements of Hinduism]] called [[Pancha Tattva (Vaishnavism)|Pancha Tattva]]. [[Brahma Sarovar]] is the focal site of this circuit, which can be subdivided into various other itineraries.

Within Kurukshetra, along with Brahma Sarovar, other important sites are [[Jyotisar]] (place of ''"Gitaupadesha"'' - the first [[Upadeśa]] or discourse of [[Bhagavad Gita]] by Lord Krishna)<ref>[http://www.kurukshetra.nic.in/tour/Religious/tirath/Kurukshetra/014-joytisar/index.htm Jyotisar] Kurukshetra district website.</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Jyotisar | publisher=[[Haryana Tourism Corporation Limited]] | url = http://haryanatourism.gov.in/showpage.aspx?contentid=5326 | access-date = 2014-08-08 }}</ref> and [[Sannihit Sarovar]] ([[Hindu genealogy registers at Kurukshetra, Haryana|Hindu genealogy registers of Kurukshetra]] are kept here).<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> Pilgrims also visit the Bhishama kund, Surya kund and [[Sthaneshwar Mahadev Temple]] (where [[Pandavas]] along with [[Krishna]] prayed to [[Shiva]] and received his blessings for victory in the battle of [[Mahabharata]])<ref name="Prasad2010">{{cite book|author=Dev Prasad|title=Krishna: A Journey through the Lands & Legends of Krishna|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=o0_5caqiUH0C&pg=PT216|year=2010|publisher=Jaico Publishing House|isbn=978-81-8495-170-7|pages=216–}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Religious Places in Kurukshetra: Sthaneswar Mahadev Mandir | url = http://www.kurukshetra.nic.in/tour/Religious/tirath/Kurukshetra/029-stahniswar/index.htm|publisher=Kurukshetra District website| access-date = 2014-08-08 }}</ref>

In addition, pilgrims also visit [[Pehowa]], where the most revered sites are [[Pehowa#Sarasvati Temple|Saraswati tirtha]] and [[Pehowa#Prithudak Teerth|Prithudak tirtha]], which is an ancient city and its religious significance is mentioned in several [[puranas]], such as [[Skanda Purana]] (1st to 5th century CE), [[Markandeya Purana]] (4th to 6th century CE) and [[Vamana Purana]] (5th to 11th century CE).<ref>[https://www.jagran.com/haryana/kurukshetra-kurukshetra-development-board-can-get-the-responsibility-of-saraswati-tirtha-18917222.html Kurukshetra Development Board can get the responsibility of Saraswati Tirtha], Dainik Jagran, 4 Feb 2019.</ref>

In [[Yamunanagar district]], [[Kapal Mochan]] (Kapal Mochan (visited by Lord [[Rama]])<ref>[http://yamunanagar.nic.in/km/hist.asp yamunanagar.nic.in]: ''History of Kapal Mochan''</ref> and [[Adi Badri, Haryana|Sri Sarasvati Udgam Tirath at Adi Badri]] (place where deified mother goddess [[Sarasvati]] is revered because the sacred [[Sarasvati River]] enters the plains from the foothills of [[sivalik Hills|shivalik]] range) are also important sacred sites.

Many pilgrims like to trace their genealogy going back hundreds of generation, trace prior visits by their ancestors and record their own visit in the [[Hindu genealogy registers at Haridwar#Kurukshetra, Haryana|Hindu genealogy registers of Kurukshetra]] and [[Pehowa#Genealogy registers|Hindu genealogy registers of Pehowa]] maintained by ''Pandas'' (professional genealogists).<ref name=gen2>[http://www.overseasindian.in/2007/dec/news/20072712-183237.shtml Tracing your Asian roots] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170426041339/http://www.overseasindian.in/2007/dec/news/20072712-183237.shtml |date=26 April 2017 }} www.overseasindian.in.</ref><ref name=gen3>[http://www.movinghere.org.uk/galleries/roots/asian/countries/lds.htm Hindu Pilgrimage Marriage Records] ''www.movinghere.org.uk''.</ref><ref name=gen4>[https://www.indiatimes.com/culture/travel/10-places-across-the-world-that-help-you-trace-your-ancestors-249825.html 10 Places Across The World That Help You Trace Your Ancestors], India Times, 29 Jan 2016.</ref>

During [[Harshavardhana]] reign, a 3 meters wide compound wall was built.<ref name=":0" />

For the [[Buddhist]] pilgrims, the most important sites are Brahma Sarovar and the [[Bodh Stupa]] on its northwestern flank. Other [[History of Haryana#Buddhism|Buddhist pilgrimage sites]] nearby Buddhist sites include Chaneti, Topra, and [[Adi Badri, Haryana|Adi Badri Sharirika stupa]].

===Sikh pilgrimage===

Several [[Sikh gurus]] had visited Sthaneshwar, Pehowa and Kapal Mochan for the holy dip.

In Kurukshetra, [[Sikh]] pilgrims visit Brahma Sarovar and the ''"Gurudawara Pehli Patshai"'' (just next to [[Sthaneshwar Mahadev Temple]] on the south bank of Brahma Sarovar where the ninth Guru [[Tegh Bahadur]] stayed at). Following the trail of Sikh gurus, the pilgrims also visit [[Pehowa]] as well as Kapal Mochan. Kapal Mochan was visited by [[Guru Nanak]] and [[Guru Gobind Singh]] after [[Battle of Bhangani]] in 1688 CE.<ref name=GS>{{cite book|title=Sikh shrines in India|last=G.S.|first=Randhir|year=1990|publisher=The Director of Publication Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India|location=New Delhi|pages=42–43}}</ref><ref>Charitar 71, Charitar of Kapal Mochan, Charitropakhyan, Dasam Granth, Guru Gobind Singh</ref>
