The ancient Sthaneshwar Mahadev Temple, dedicated to Shiva is situated in old Kurukshetra city Kurukshetra district of Haryana, India. It was here that the Pandavas along with Krishna are said to have prayed to Shiva and to have received his blessings for victory in the battle of Mahabharata.[1][2] The ninth Guru, Shri Tegh Bahadur stayed at a spot near the Sthaneshwar Tirtha that is marked by a gurdwara just beside the temple.[citation needed]
