This place is also known as Narkatari Teerth.This is the place where Arjun ended the thirst of Bheeshma while he was on Arrow bed.Arjuna shot an arrow and Gangajal appeared from the land from which Bheeshma drank water . Although other Kaurvas brought water too for him too but he denied and said only the one who made me end up on the bed of arrows is allowed to give me water to drink so Arjuna obeyed his order. On one side(right) of this kund, there is Lord Shiva in the firm of Shivling and opposite the Shivling there is a huge Murti of Lord Hanuman .On the other side (left) Lord Krishna, Shri Vishnu , Khatu Shyaam ji and Bhadrakali Mata are present. On the pillars near Kund and at the entrance, Bheeshma's wise words are engraved which were told by him to Yudhishthira and other Pandavas when he was graved as rhe Kind of Hastinapur after the Kurukshetra War. There's a beautiful idol of Arjuna and Bheeshma which seems very real but Alas! The water of the Kund in very harsh condition full of Algae.

Bhishma Kund located at Narkatari in Kurukshetra, has connection with the great epic Mahabharata. As per the Legends when Bhishma Pitamah laid on the bed of arrows created by Arjuna, while he was watching the mahabharata battle, he felt thirsty and asked for water. To quench his thirst, Arjuna immediately shot an arrow into the ground and let loose a stream of gushing water. This is how the Bhishma Kund is believed to come into existence. This place has a water pond (which is quite dirty) in the centre known as Bhishma Kund and a temple next to it known as Bhishma Baan Shayya Mandir. Also, a huge Hanuman Ji statue is located at the back of the temple and a Gaushala is also there in the temple premises. There is parking at temple entrance with lots of locals selling wooden and other artifcrafts.

Place that bears a connection with the great epic Mahabharata, this is the place where it is believed that Pitamaha Bhishma lay watching the famous battle after Arjun, created a bed of arrows for him. The place now has a temple next to a water tank called the Banganga or the Bhishma Kund. There is a legend attached to this water tank. It says that, when Bhishma lay on his bed of arrows, he felt thirsty and asked for water. To fulfil his desire, Arjuna immediately shot an arrow into the ground and let loose a stream of ganga water. This is how the Bhishma Kund is believed to come into existence

This place is trasure of sanatan dharma, It is believed that Pitamaha Bhishma (father figure revered by both Kauravas and Pandavas) lay on the arrowed bed here, created by Arjuna; from here he saw the epic Battle of Mahabharata. The place now has a temple next to a water tank called the Banganga or the Bhishma Kund. There is a legend attached to this water tank, which says when Bhishma lay down on his bed of arrows, he felt thirsty and asked for water. To fulfill his desire, Arjuna immediately shot an arrow into the ground and let lose a stream of gushing water. This is how the Bhishm

This is a historic place which has its root from mahabharat. It is believed that the arrow bed of Bheeshma Pitamah, was laid down here, when arjun hit him with the arrows, in the evening Bheesma asked for water, so arjun hit another arrow to ground to bring out water from earth, the same water body is visible in picture as well. This is another holy spot for Hanuman ji, a 60ft tall structure of Hanuman ji is installed here for worshipping. This place is in another corner of city, so not many people visit here often, hence not well maintained.

Interesting place where one can turn some pages of history. The city of Kurukshetra was the focal point of the war of Mahabharata and in this war when Bhisma Pitamah was wounded, he lay on the bed of arrows. One day, when he was thirsty, he asked for water. Arjuna quenched his thirst by shooting an arrow in the ground. Thus his mother, Goddess Ganga emerged and blessed him with water. This place is also called Baan Ganga.
