Phalgu Tirath is an Indian pilgrimage site, where pilgrimages are undertaken by the Hindus during the Shraadhs. It is located in Pharal village in the Pundri sub-tehsil of Kaithal district in Haryana state.^[1] Pharal village is located between Pundri and Dhand in Kaithal district and is very near to Kurukshetra town[.^[2]

During the Shraddha, Phalgu Mela (Phalgu fair) takes plece here and the Hindus make offerings in the form of pindadana (offerings of balls of food) in the remembrances of their ancestors. It is believed that the offerings (pindadana) done in favour of forefathers at the place relieves their soul from the cycle of rebirth.^[3] In a way it is like taking care of the atma of the deceased parents for a good place in heaven. The pindas, after chanting prayers, are offered to the sacred pond at the heart of Pharal Village.

The road between Daund and Pharal is 3 m wide and during the pilgrimage, because of heavy rush of pilgrims it becomes very difficult to reach the sacred pond.

Pharal Village

The name of the village has come from Phalgu Pond, which is named after Phalgu Rishi who is believed to be the son in law of Gaya ji . There is a small temple dedicated to the Phalgu rishi which is located on the shore of the pond. Most of the descendents of the natives of this place have now moved out of the village, but still they come here timely to offer their prayers to their ancestors. The original village is located at some height from the pond, which can be seen when going in village as streets are steep. As you go through the streets you can see the remains of Havelies (Homes) of the people who used to live here. It is believed to be a very sacred place.

Phaphrana Village There is another Phalgu mandir at village Phaphrana, Tehsil Assandh, District karnal which is a very old and secred place also. Fair happens in devotion of Phalgu Rishi on Amavas of Monday which is very uncertain. It is not happens on a fixed particular day. In phaphrana village, this mandir is famous as Phalgu Dada mandir.
