'Jyotisar, the little town within Kurukshetra, is believed to be the birthplace of the Bhagwad Gita. Legend has it that it was here that Lord Krishna gave Arjuna the Bhagwad Gita, thus preparing him to battle stronger forces like Bhishma and Karna during the Mahabharat. There is a banyan tree here that is considered holy by Hindu pilgrims, as it was under this tree that the holy book was handed over. There are also carvings of the scene, a Shiva Temple, a sacred water tank, a regular light and sound show, a restaurant, and accommodation options for pilgrims.'
