Bhavan is a "Building".
Kshetra is a "Field"
Kuru is the name of the clan of the Kauravs and Pandavas.

to asker,
Bhavan = a building, or a construction made for some specific work i.e.-Vidya bhavan, krida bhavan= play room,nrutyabhavan=dance room etc.
kshetra= field, it is sanskrit word for "khet" in hindi and "shet" in Marathi,
note that it also is used for the specific field like "Homi Bhabha did the marvelous work in the field of science= ",Vigyan kshetra, Natya kshetra= field of drama, Sahitya kshetra=field of literature .
