Kurukshetra

On the ‚Field of the Kurus‘ the Mahabharata war between the Pandavas and Kauravas was fought.

This region is mentioned in the Vedic scriptures as Saryanvat and as Uttaravedi, the high/elevated platform, layered in the form of a flying bird, for the sacred sacrificial fire.

Befor the Mahabharata war the area was called Samanta Panchaka. Here Parashurama eradicated the warrior caste.
