Haryana To Promote Tourism In Mahabharata Heritage Sites In Kurukshetra

Haryana is a treasure trove of historical heritage. While Gurugram thrives as a modern tech hub, the state is also home to some of India’s oldest and most significant monuments that reflect its rich past. The Heritage and Tourism Minister, Dr Arvind Kumar Sharma, recently unveiled an exciting initiative to elevate Kurukshetra and its neighbouring regions into premier tourist destinations. Famous for its deep historical and mythological ties—especially its connection to the Mahabharata—Kurukshetra is set to become the centrepiece of a new tourism project called the ‘Mahabharata Circuit.’ Dr Sharma shared this ambitious plan at the second Mahabharata Circuit Conference in Karnal, where collaboration between Haryana Tourism and the Union Ministry of Tourism aimed to unlock the region's vast tourism potential and development opportunities.
