Kurukshetra: An unexplored hidden gem of a city

Other than the Mahabharata, the place has various other tourist sites to attract visitors. For instance, Sri Krishna Museum, set up by the Kurukshetra Development Board, depicts the life of Lord Krishna. The Panorama Science Museum, with the help of science and technology, tells Mahabharata stories. It also houses a planetarium, paying tribute to Kalpana Chawla, who hails from Karnal. Then, there is a tomb called Sheikh Chilli ~ a great scholar and a teacher of Dara Shikoh.
