The Brahma Sarovar is one of the largest sacred tanks in India, 1,800 feet long and 1,400 feet wide, stepped on all sides with ghats. Created by Brahma at the beginning of creation, this Kurukshetra land is said to cleanse all sins when bathed in during a solar eclipse. The central Sarveshwar Mahadev temple sits on a small island accessed by a bridge, where ghats see continuous ritual offerings.
