	Ghaggar River in Haryana,Famous Ghaggar River,Haryana Ghaggar River
		The river Ghaggar, a river of the northern India is India's main seasonal river.
		The Ghaggar rises in the Shivalik Range, northwestern Himachal Pradesh, and flows about 200 miles (320 km) southwest through Pinjore in the state of Haryana, where it receives the Saraswati River.
		The Ghaggar was probably once an affluent of the Indus River.

		And some Rig-vedic verses (6.61.2) indicate that the Sarasvati river originated in the high Himalayas like the ancient "Sarasvati-Sutlej" river where she could "burst with her strong waves the ridges of the hills", and not merely in the Himalayan foothills like the present-day Sarasvati-Ghaggar river.
		A river flowing into an aggrading flood plain tends to gradually build up with silt the land round its course, until at the next big flood the river finds it easier to flow into lower land further away from its old course.
		The distance between the Harahvaiti and the Ghaggar (and its tributary, still called Sarasvati today) is some 600 km, and it was suggested that the name was reassigned after the Indo-Aryans had reached the Punjab, thus tracing the route of the Indo-Aryan migration.

		The disappearance of the river may have been caused by earthquakes which may have led to the redirection of its tributaries.
		The beforehand narrow Ghaggar river bed itself is becoming suddenly wider at the conjunction where the Sutlej should have met the Ghaggar river.

	On the Identity and Chronology of the Rigvedic River Sarasvati
		While the identification of the Sarasvati of the later texts with the present-day Ghaggar is retained, arguments are given in support of the identification of the original Sarasvati with the Helmand in south Afghanistan, having the original Yamuna and Ganga as its tributaries.
		In its transition from the naditama to the Vinasana to a mythical river, the Sarasvati traces the stepwise history of the Indo-Aryan migrations from Afghanistan to the Ganga plain.

	Uttaranchal Information Centre
		Already Oldham wrote that the Ghaggar river "was formerly the Saraswati; that name is still known amongst the people, and the famous fortress of Sarasuti or Saraswati was built upon its banks, nearly 100 miles below the present junction with the Ghaggar." (Oldham 1893: 51-52).
		And some Rig-vedic verses (6.61.2) indicate that the Sarasvati river originated in a high altitude like the ancient "Sarasvati-Sutlej" river where she could "burst with her strong waves the ridges of the hills", and not merely in the Himalayan foothills like the present-day Sarasvati-Ghaggar river.
		If the Ghaggar-Hakra river is the original Sarasvati of the Vedas, it implies that the Vedic Aryans were resident in the Punjab as early as the late 3rd millennium BC.

		The river course was dotted with lakes and ponds.
		The river had flowed for millennia originating from the Har-ki-dun glacier, in the Bandarpunch mass of W.Garhwal of the Himalayas flowing through Kurukshetra, Kalibangan, Ganweriwala (in Bahawalpur province, Pakistan), Rann of Kutch (close to Dholavira) and through the Nall lake into the Gulf of Khambat (close to Lothal).
		Thus, due to river capture, Saraswati was deprived of the perennial source of molten glaciers from the Himalayas.

	The Saraswati - Where lies the mystery
		The decline of the river appears to have commenced between 5000 and 3000 B.C., probably precipitated by a major tectonic event in the Siwalik Hills of Sirmur region.
		The diversion of the river water through separation of its tributaries led to the conversion of the river as disconnected lakes and pools; ultimately it was reduced to a dry channel bed.
		It is found that the course of the river Saraswati in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan is clearly highlighted in the LANDSAT imagery by the vegetation cover thriving on the rich residual loamy soil along its earlier course.

	Saraswati – the ancient river lost in the desert
		Several other rivers shifted their courses, some of their tributaries were ‘pirated’ by neigbouring rivers or severed from their main courses.
		Judged in the broader perspective of geological evolution, disappearance or disintegration of rivers, shifting of their courses, capture of one river by another (river piracy), steady decline of waters culminating in drying up of their beds, are all normal responses to tectonism (uplift, faulting, subsidence, tilting), earthquakes, adverse climate and other natural events.
		Mainly, Indus and Saraswati, were the two major river systems of northwestern India during the Vedic period but the network of their tributaries, some of which are known to have deviated from their initial course or become non-existent today, have given scope for grouping these rivers into convenient classifications.
