    Rigvedic River Sarswati In India or Iran

    Over the years, there exists an unending controversy over the issue of the existence of Rigvedic 'Sarasvat.i' Some people say that in the Rigveda, the word 'Sarasvati' stands for a goddess in some verses while at other places it has been used to depict Indus.

    There is another group which identifies it as a river of central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan and also some equate it with even Oxus.

    Third group is of the view that the Rigvedic river flowed in Modern day Haryana and also say that the Rigvedic river dried up or took another route identifiable with Ghaggar of today. Since Ghaggar comes to plains near Pinjore-Kalka and Panchkula, near Chandigarh to plains, they equate it as the substitute place of the Rigvedic and Pauranic Sarasvati.

    Still some others identify it as Ghaggar but about the name of place/site according to them is defined as it originates to plains from Shivalik near Adi Badri in district Yamunanagar.

    Some believe that it continues to flow underground to merge with the Yamuna and the Ganga at Allahabad forming Sangam where Kumbha fair is held.



    In fact, these and many more points emerged during the course of debate/discussion on the -Chronology-of-Indian-History-Newer-discussion resulting in an unending controversy that blocked further smooth progress of the thread towards finding a logical conclusion.

    Therefore, those participants, who have something worth consideration in their possession, are welcome to join discussion here.
