List of Places in Kuru Kingdom - Pandavas Army Camps

Pandavas Army Camps

King Yudhishthira encamped troops on a part of the field that was level, cool, and abounding with grass and fuel. They avoided cemeteries, temples and compounds consecrated to the deities, asylums of sages, shrines, and other sacred plots. Dhristadyumna and Satyaki measured the ground for encampment. The camp was constructed on the banks of Hiranwati which flows through Kurukshetra, whose bed was divested of pointed pebbles and mire (5,153).
