It originates in the Siwalik Hills in Sirmul District at the southern tip of Himachal Pradesh in northwest India, flows southwest along the northwest border of Haryana, joins the Ghaggar River and disappears into the Thar Desert. It is about 330 km long. It is one of the holiest rivers for Hindus, and Saraswati, the goddess of learning and arts, is named after this river. It is depicted in the Rig Veda as a great river flowing into the Arabian Sea. The dried-up old riverbeds of the Ghaggar and other rivers remaining in the Thar Desert are believed to be the former course of the river.
