| | Sarasvati River from near Mt. Kailas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | A river as mighty and as wide as Sarasvati could not have originated but from a glacier or a glacial lake in the Himalayas and its flow was continuous from the Himalayas to Gujarat between 6,000 to 8,000 BC, a hypothesis based on ancient scriptures and substantiated by remote-sensing satellites says a scientist. |
 | | The study says the now disappeared river may have originated from Mr Kapalshikhar, situated north of Mansarovar and west of Kailash or in Central Himalayas, in present-day Tibet. |
 | | It was flowing further eastward through the present day Bijnaur, Nihtaur, Nurpur, Agroha, Sambhal, Sahasran, Pahadpur, Badayun and Fatehgunj, and then westwards up to Sambhar lake near Jaipur in Rajasthan and down south in Gujarat where it met the sea. |
