Prachi is one of the important pilgrimages of Kurukshetra. It is located 28 kilometers from Kurukshetra, in the Pehowa sub-division. The literal meaning of 'prachi' is east. The easterly flow of the Saraswati River is known as Prachi Sarasvati. On the bank of the ancient Saraswati known as Prachi are found various important temples. Originally, some stone temples belonging to 9th-10th century A.D. existed here. However, due to the onslaught of time and climatic conditions, these have been destroyed. The remnants of the temples, in the form of a doorjamb and exquisitely carved sculptures at the entrance of the tirtha are testimonies to the existence of ancient temples. At present, on the bank of the Prachi tirtha still stands the late medieval temples dating back to the 17th-18th century. The most important and colossal among these edifices is the Shiva temple on the northern side of Prachi tirtha.
