Known as the 'Cradle of Modern Civilization', Haryana has a religious identity of its own. The doctrine of 'Bhagwad Gita', the epic of 'Mahabharata' and the presence of now subterranean river Saraswati and temples scattered around Kurukshetra have been attracting pilgrims to this state, throughout the year. Birla Gita Mandir, Sheetala Mata Mandir, Mansa Devi Temple are some of the few Hindu worship centres.
