About this document
Disappearance of the Saraswati River by Kumar Saurabh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Saraswati River, revered in Hinduism, was a significant river system originating from the Greater Himalayan region, which disappeared around 4000 years ago due to geological changes. It once flowed through northwestern India and eastern Pakistan, but tectonic disturbances redirected its tributaries, leading to its eventual desiccation. Today, the dry bed of the Saraswati is represented by seasonal rivers in Haryana, and its disappearance has transformed surrounding fertile lands into desert.
