Detail InformationEdit

A Narkatari Mandir lies at this place. It is believed that this is the place where Pitamaha Bhishma lay watching the famous battle of Mahabharata after Arjun, one of his grandsons, created a bed of arrows for him. The temple lies close to the water tank called the Banganga or the Bhishma Kund, named after the Pitamaha. There is a legend attached to this water tank. It says that, when Bhishma lay on his bed of arrows created by Arjuna at his request, he felt thirsty and asked for water, At this, Arjuna immediately shot an arrow into the ground and let loose a stream of gushing water. This is how the Bhishma Kund tank came into existence.
