The Living Heritage of Kurukshetra
Kurukshetra is not just a modern district of Haryana; it is one of the oldest cultural and spiritual landscapes on earth. Spanning over 48 Kos (an ancient unit of distance equivalent to roughly 128 kilometers), the heritage circuit encompasses more than 134 sacred tirthas, ghats, and historical monuments spread across Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, and Jind.
The Challenge: Discoverability of Ancient Tirthas
While iconic sites like Brahma Sarovar, Jyotisar, and Sannihit Sarovar attract millions of pilgrims during the International Gita Mahotsav, scores of ancient archaeological gems remain virtually unknown due to lack of geo-tagged maps, historical context, and transport guides.
Bringing Ancient Heritage into the Digital Era
City Mitra integrated a dedicated AskGita AI & Heritage Guide module. Pilgrims can:
- Ask philosophical and contextual questions directly from the 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita.
- Receive automated GPS proximity alerts when they are near historical tirthas like Bhishma Kund (Narkatari) or Sheikh Chilli's Tomb.
- Get complete route itineraries, ghat timings, and nearby civic amenities with zero commercial bias.
