Punjab Plain
• Sacred Geography:
The Punjab Plain consists of the Plain of Indus. Five rivers merge together forming Panjnad and join the river Indus (Sindhu) on the Pakistan side of the Punjab Plain. The river Indus finally merges with the Arabian Sea near Karachi.
The five rivers are:
▬ River Jhelum (Vitasta) flows
▬ River Chenab (Chandrabhaga) (Asikni) flows
▬ River Ravi (Iravati) (Airavati) (Parushni) flows
▬ River Sutlej (Shatadru) flows
▬ River Beas (Vipasha) flows
Apart from these the ancient river Saraswati flows through Pehowa (Pitrudhak Teertha).
The ancient Kurukshetra lies between rivers Saraswati and Drishadvati.
