Architecture
Most of the temple is constructed from buff sandstone along with marble in some parts. There are three entrance doors to the temple from the compound with carved floral designs at each door. It's an incredibly beautiful temple positioned on the waters of Brahma Sarovar itself. A concrete arch bridge links the temple to the bank. The temple is viewed best from Krishna Ghat during sunset. Setting sun's reddish-golden colour reflects into the pond making the image of the temple in water look saintly. The Sarovar is 1800 ft long and 1400 feet wide. There is a temple of Lord Shiva and Goddess Kali in the middle of the Sarovar. The pond is circumscribed with concrete ghats from all the sides where the devotees can take bath.
Religious Significance
According to Local Legends this tank was first excavated by King Kuru the ancestor of Kauravs & Pandavas. According to stories of myths, Lord Brahma created the universe from the land of Kurukshetra after a huge yajna. The Brahma Sarovar here is believed to be the cradle of civilization. The sarovar is also mentioned in the eleventh century A.D memoirs of Al Beruni, called ‘Kitab-ul-Hind’. The sarovar also has a mention in Mahabharata citing its use by Duryodhana to hide himself under water on the concluding day of the war.
