Saraswati River Map - Summary

You can download the Saraswati River map in PDF, PNG, WEBP, JPG, and many other formats. The Saraswati River, a legendary river in Hindu mythology, is believed to have originated from the Har-ki-Dun glacier in West Garhwal, Bandarpunch massif in the Himalayas, alongside the river Yamuna.

It played a significant role in ancient Indian civilization, supporting over 1,600 settlements and being described in the Rig Veda as a mighty river with many tributaries.

Despite not having a physical presence today, references to the Saraswati River can be found in ancient Indian literature, particularly from the Vedic and post-Vedic periods.

Historically, the Saraswati River was considered one of the most important rivers in ancient India, flowing through regions now known as Rajasthan and Gujarat.

The river’s disappearance is attributed to various factors such as changes in climate, loss of tributaries like Yamuna and Sutlej, and water seepage through earth faults.

The Saraswati River is deeply intertwined with Indian history and mythology, symbolizing knowledge and peace.
