The story is big. i just share teh PEyar karanam of kurushEtram.

it was bcoz of the king KURU the battle field was named as kurushEtram

who was KURU????

He was the grandson of King Vishiparva. sorry forgot parents name.

KURU's father had 2 wives.

one was(first wife) devayai daughter of Shukracharya.
The other one was King Vishiparva's(Princess) daughter.

(Because of one curse Vishiparva's daughter bacame DEVAYANI's maid and went with devayani after her marriage with the KING. and then the princess became the second wife of DEVAYAN"s husband)


one day devayani came to know about her husband's secret relationship with Vishiparva's daughter. she ran to her father Shukracharya and explained about her husband's quality.
(The king got 2 sons through DEVAYANI and 3 sons through Vishiparva's daughter)

Shukracharya cursed the king that he will no longer retain his youth. The king went back home and explained about his curse to his sons, and pleaded them to exchange his old age with their youth

Devayani's sons refused it. the last son of Vishiparva's daughter who was KURU gave his youth to his father.

KURU's father enjoyed the wordly life and atlast realised about life and went in search of peace. so he returned the youth to his son and accepted his ripe(thirundhitaar illa adhan RIPE ) old age and gave his kingdom to KURU.


this was the way how Kaurava dynasty was formed. KURU became a great emperor. sages practises auestirities,yagna , sacrifices and all in the vast region which became Kurukshetra.

Since DHARMA was practised in Kurukshetra which became Dharma-Kshetra
