The volume presents a narrative on the city of Kurukshetra where history and legend blends, which has seen battles and the sway of empires over time. Kurukshetra is the battlefield where the epic Mahabharata reached its culmination and where the Bhagavad Gita was preached by Krishna to the warrior Arjuna. The account traces sanctity of the city for Hindu spiritual seekers. It describes the city as a timeless city and examines it as a metaphor, a symbol of Hindu spirituality and mysticism and even as a confluence between the faiths of Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. It recounts its history as one of warriors and kings, saints, and freedom fighters. It has colourful illustrations that bring alive the splendour of the place and its spiritual richness.
