The holy Banyan Tree, which is supposed to have witnessed Krishna delivering the sermon of Bhagavad Gita

Jyotisar, on the bank of Jyotisar Sarovar wetland, is a Hindu pilgrimage site in the city of Kurukshetra in Haryana state of India. According to Hindu tradition, Krishna delivered the sermon of Bhagavad Gita – the doctrine of Karma and Dharma to his wavering friend Arjuna to guide him to resolve his ethical dilemma[1][2] and revealed his vishvarupa (universal form) to him.[3]

Adi Shankara, an 8th century Hindu scholar, has established that Jyotisar is the exact place where Krishna delivered the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna.[4]

Jyotisar, Kurukshetra is part of the Krishna circuit [5] (Vrindavan, Barsana, Govardhan, Mathura, Dwarka and Bhalka).

It lies west of Kurukshetra city on SH-6 state highway.
