A spiritual place and one of the most important part of Mahabharata

Thus place is the witness of a great history. Pitamah bhishma was on baan shaiya when he was hit by the arch of Arjuna. After battle, lord bhishma asked for water due to thirst. Arjuna hit an arch to the land and gangaji appeared to kill the thirst of pitamaha. Hence this place is called Bhishma Kund. This is must visit place if you are in Kurukshetra but it is maintained poorly. Local authorities should focus on maintenance.

Good

Govt. should take initiative to invite more devotees ... like sign boards, path ways ...

Very important religious place . But not given the importance . Not developed by the local government. A must visit place in kurukshetra

Nice place.There was a shiva temple in baan ganga.

Its a pond , small part converted to temple model. Said to be the place where Bhishma,while on arrow bed asked from Arjun for Ganga water. And then Arjun hit earth from his arrow to bring ganga to Thanesar.

Baan Ganga, a holy place related to Mahabhart, is situated at Thanesar in Kurukshetra of Haryana. It is believed to be the place where Arjun shot an arrow (Ban) in the ground and letting out a water spring (Ganga) to quench Pitamaha Bhishmas thirst. The place is nicely maintained. Premise is beautiful. It is a prominent pilgrims’ as well as tourists’ attraction in Kurukshetra.

Awesome spiritual place

Good place, yet to be maintained well..

A place where Bhishmpitamaha died.We call this place on name of her mother - Baan GangaHoly place for hindus.

Good place to visit

Very nice and claim environment

The place mentioned in great epic mahabharat where Arjun understand the sign of bhishma to drink water without glass and leave an arrow by his gandiv on earth and a small dhar of Ganga out from ground direct to the bhishma mouth

Not Maintained as its importance

Place where Arjun got this and their side horses washed and quenched after thirst.

The place and its history is quite good but the place itself is not managed properly. When I went ,it was getting cleaned and some construction work was going on for a new temple.Overall, a quite place at an offbeat location. Difficult to identify without maps or asking locals about it

Place clearly related in Hindu mythological stories of Mahabharata

Its a very important historical place and one of must visit. However it is in very sad situation. No proper maintainence. Government must ensure proper care for such an important place

Stupid place. Nothing good to see

A holy place in Dyalpur Village just 3 km from Brahma sarovar and very close to Nit kurukshetra

The place where it is believed that Pitamaha Bhishma lay watching the famous battle after Arjun, created a bed of arrows for him. The place now has a temple next to a water tank called the Banganga or the Bhishma Kund.There is a legend attached to this water tank. It says that, when Bhishma lay on his bed of arrows, he felt thirsty and asked for water. To fulfil his desire, Arjuna immediately shot an arrow into the ground and let loose a stream of gushing water. This is how the Bhishma Kund is believed to come into existence.

Place is historicalThere is one shiva temple and a Hanuman temple of small size.Government has not maintained it well.Famous for the event of Arjuna striking Earth with his Arrow to bring out Ganga Jal.

Its a nice place but it is unhygenic sunbygen.

Nice place work in progress

Most revered place.Arjun during maha bharat war arrowed for water to quench thirsty of injured Bheem.Place lying in natural state. Not spoiled

It was like somebody used an arrow to make a ganga! Absolutely genius man!

This is the place where Arjuna used his Bow and Arrow to get water to fulfill Bhismas wish.

Needs maintenance ,under construction,nice and calm place to visit

Not a very great place to visit. Will get bored. Smells very bad there. Better go brahamasarovar

Nice place and large Hanuman statue.

Its a very important and historical place related to Mahabharat where Bhishma pitamahs baandon ki shaiyya is located. Bt not proper maintained although villagers take care of this place bt its not enough.

Very beautiful and nice place. One kilometre from the main road.Difficult to get Autorickshaw from the place. Reserved Autorickshaw must be better.Small temples here. A deep well with steps, Arjun dig by arrow, to satisfy the thirst of Pitamaha Bhisma.Out side the temple you see local handicrafts shops.

Place where Arjunas arrow fetches water for dying Bhishma

Historic place but no facilty need to improve

Historic and religious place near nitk.Not so worth to visit for outsiders

This is the place that is believed to be place where Bhisma was lying down in the bed of arrows after the Mahabharata war. He felt thirsty and asked for water. Arjuna shot an arrow and a spring came up. This is now a pond there.
