Star Monument

The enchanting Star Monument is a treasure to the state of Haryana. Situated in Dinaud at a distance of 12 kms from Bhiwani, the monument is built on the tomb where Param Sant Huzur Tara Chand Ji Maharaj lies in eternal peace. The building is shaped in the form of a star after the name of Maharaj Ji. The holy tomb or Samadhi in the Radhaswami Satsang Bhawan Complex measures 101 feet from the base which itself stands on a raised platform of 6 feet.

The Star Monument is a hexagonal pyramid shaped structure where three alternative sides are in white marble, the other three being made of blue Italian glass that are completely weather resistant. The wonder lies in the fact that the building doesn't have pillars or columns to support it. Stars twinkle on the three walls of the Samadhi and inside. A statue of Maharaj Ji stands near the western wall. Six paintings portraying the life of Maharaj Ji adorn the six corners of the Samadhi. Traditional techniques are used for ventilation.

A beautifully serene adorned garden surrounds the Star Monument which dazzles brightly after sundown creating a rainbow effect. Flowers in myriad hues spread their beauty by the winding marble pathways. Stars with a moon in their heart symbolizing the name 'Tara Chand' decorate the inner boundary walls. The small hut where Maharaj Ji used to meditate is in the vicinity. There is also a holy well the water of which is believed to have healing properties. Fountains and waterfalls shimmer as the lights glow bright every evening and people flock the monument in numbers.
