Kapil Muni Tirtha

Location

Kapil Muni Tirtha is dedicated to the renowned author of Sankhya Philosophy, Saint Kapila, and is located in Kalayat, which is an ancient village near Narwana. Kapil Muni Tirtha is one of the most popular pilgrimages located in the Kurukshetra region.

The region of Kalayat consists of certain architectures that are considered to be very rare like the brick temple in the northern part of India. This temple belongs to the 7th century AD and was built by King Salwan.

The bricks used in the temple are moulded and are of different shapes and sizes that have survived the ravages of time. A similar temple is located just opposite a water tank, which is now under the Archaeological Department.
