Kurukshetra — Beyond The Myth

A historical journey through monuments, museums & forgotten stories.

Kurukshetra is often introduced through the Mahabharata. But beyond the epic memory lies a much larger historical landscape — one shaped by archaeology, ancient settlements, Buddhist heritage, medieval architecture, museums and the cultural history of Haryana.

From the Mahabharata tradition and epic memory explored at the Kurukshetra Panorama & Science Centre, to the archaeological record of Thanesar, the Kushana-era Buddhist heritage, the Mughal architecture of Sheikh Chilli's Tomb & Complex, archaeological objects and the wider cultural heritage of Haryana — this is Kurukshetra seen through a historical lens.
