Fast Facts of Haryana
Chandigarh Haryana's capital city is the only Indian city to have been designed and planned by a single architect - Le Corbusier. The city, surrounded by the Shiwalik Hills that hem the great Himalayas, is a model of wide roads and spacious residential colonies. Visit Sukhna Lake, Pinjore Gardens, the Rose Garden and the Rock Garden, where the city's discarded junk has been recycled into bizarre human and animal sculptures. Chandigarh is a good base to travel northwards to the hill resorts of Shimla Kulu, Manali, Dharmashala and Dalhousie Kurukshetra Kurukshetra is one of the most sacred places for Hindus, for it was here that the Mahabharata, the epic battle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, was fought. It was during this battle that Lord Krishna preached his divine message, The Bhagavad Gita (the kernel of Hindu belief and doctrine) to a doubt-ridden Arjuna. The mythical holy river, Saraswati, is believed to have flowed by Kurukshetra, and many vedic hymns were supposed to have been composed along its banks. Sultanpur Sultanpur was declared a waterbird reserve in 1972. The grounds are lush with greenery and masses of bougainvillea, but one of the best things about it is that there aren't many trees to obscure the visitor's view of the lake. Surajkund The internationally famous Crafts Mela is held here every year in the month of February, to promote Indian arts and handicrafts. Dumdama Lake Surrounded by the enchanting Aravali Ranges, this is a popular spot for rock climbing, paragliding and ballooning.

It was here in Haryana, that Lord Krishna taught us about Karma and Dharma through "The Bhagwad Gita". It was here that Ved Vyas wrote Mahabharat (in Sanskrit) on the banks of Saraswati River.
