Saraswati Lost River delves into the mystery surrounding the Saraswati, a prominent river in ancient Vedic texts, and the quest to uncover its existence. This book explores the river’s cultural significance and its potential impact on the Indus Valley Civilization. Intriguingly, the book uses geological and hydrological evidence, including satellite imagery and ground surveys, to map the possible course of this lost river. It also investigates archaeological findings, connecting settlements and artifacts to the river’s ancient presence.
The book approaches the topic systematically, starting with the river’s depiction in Vedic scriptures. It then progresses to geological and archaeological evidence, culminating in a discussion of the river’s disappearance due to tectonic events and climate change, and its effects on the region’s environment and society. This interdisciplinary approach combines earth sciences and historical geography to provide a holistic view. The book’s unique value lies in its integration of scientific data with textual interpretations, bridging the gap between archaeological findings and Vedic narratives.
