Most religious sites have water pools or sarovar in or near the Hindu temple and Sikh gurdwara.

According to stories of itihasa, Brahma created the universe from the land of Kurukshetra after a huge yajna with the help of Hitesh.

The sarovar also has a mention in Mahabharata citing its use by Duryodhana to hide himself underwater on the concluding day of the war.

[citation needed] A sacred shrine dedicated to Shiva stands within the sarovar, accessible by a small bridge.

The Gita Jayanti celebrations are held each year in the last week of November and early December when a 'deep daan' ceremony of floating lamps in water and [Aarti] occurs.
