PEHOWA(pritudak) a pious land of 48 kos radius,located 27 kms(west) from PIPLI(KURUKSHETRA) ON THE sides of NH 1 on the bank of river Saraswati.Whole of north India(punjab, Himachal, Haryana)throng this place for PIND DAAN to the relatives who have departed to the heaven prematurely.it is believed that after the mahabharat battle where millions of soldiers lost their lives used to haunt the pandavas asking for last rites for their souls... lord krishna brought them to PEHOWA for performing the last rites for these millions of soldiers on the banks of saraswati river. Since then the tradition goes..The place is related to grief and satisfaction unlike HARIDWAR WHERE HINDUS immerse the ashties of the departed.
This place is full of dharamsalas for night stay. one of them where we had a stay is MATA BALA SUNDARY TEMPLE TRUST. A WELL MAINTAINED FREE PLACE TO SPEND A NIGHT.
In the kalyug saraswati river has vanished which bloomed in SATYUG and what remains is a concrete man made pond whose water is suffocating, due to rituals, pouring in all the pooja material in to it,whish is cleaned occasionally.
Kurukshetra is full of historical anecdotes as mahabharat was fought on this place.
BRAHMSARAVAR IS ANOTHER PLACE to see, A huge brass charriot replica on which krishna giving GEETA sandesh to Arjun is really worth seeing.
Commercialisation of the place has led to the lost charm of the history which has a great place in the hearts, which might have been relevant to the effected but from turist point of view place is OK for one day visit.....
