About Pehowa - Saraswati Ghat
Pehowa is an ancient pilgrimage site on the banks of the sacred Saraswati River. According to the Mahabharata, the Pandavas performed Pind Daan here for the warriors killed in the Kurukshetra war.
Pehowa is especially significant because rituals performed here are believed to be equivalent to those at Gaya. It's a preferred site for many families from North India for ancestral ceremonies.
पेहोवा पवित्र सरस्वती नदी के तट पर एक प्राचीन तीर्थस्थल है। महाभारत के अनुसार, पांडवों ने यहां कुरुक्षेत्र युद्ध में मारे गए योद्धाओं के लिए पिंड दान किया था।
पेहोवा इसलिए विशेष रूप से महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि यहां किए गए अनुष्ठान गया के समान माने जाते हैं। उत्तर भारत के कई परिवारों के लिए यह पितृ कर्म का पसंदीदा स्थल है।
