    Brahma Sarovar is a water tank sacred to the Dharmic religions in Thanesar, in the state of Haryana in North India.
    Dharmic religions lay emphasis on taking bath for internal and external purity. Most religious sites have water tanks
    or sarovar in or near the temple/gurdwara.

    History
    According to stories of Hindu: since it was a trial during the muslim reign in India to develop an Organized Religion
    in the tune of Islam, Christianity and Judaism to have a clergy command over the public by utilising the myths and
    stories with rituals which couldn't succeed the logical and ethical tradition of the country culture. But the
    professional scholars are still in efforts to make it which is a shame. myths, Lord Brahma created the universe from
    the land of Kurukshetra after a huge yajna. The Brahma Sarovar here is believed to be the cradle of civilisation. The
    sarovar is also mentioned in the eleventh century AD memoirs of Al Beruni, called Kitab-ul-Hind.
    A sacred shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva stands within the sarovar, accessible by a small bridge. According to
    scriptures, bathing in this sarovar increases the sanctity of performing the ashvamedh yajna. The tank offers a
    breath-taking sight during the Gita Jayanti celebrations held in the last week of November and early December every
    year when there will be deep daan and aarti. This also happens to be the time when migratory birds from distant
    places wing it to the sarovar. The Birla Gita Mandir and Baba Naths haveli and temple are the neighbouring
    attractions.

    Brahma Sarovar

    At Present
    Today Brahma Sarovar has been renovated. It is 1800 feet long and
    1400 feet broad. The tanks are especially crowded during solar eclipse
    because it is believed that a dip there during the solar eclipse absolves
    one of all sins. One of the most delightful occasions is the Gita Jyanti
    celebrations held in the last week of November or the first week of
    December. The tank presents breath-taking spectacle of Deep daan
    (ceremony of floating lamps in water) and Aarti organized on this
    occasion. All around the world participates at this occasion. We can
    see a big crowd at these occasions.
