Haryana government’s efforts to trace the origin of the mythical Saraswati river bore fruit on Tuesday when water started gushing out from a pit, which was being dug under the lost river revival plan.
As many as 80 people who were digging the course of the Saraswati in Mugalwali village of Yamunanagar district suddenly noticed that the soil they were shovelling out from a pit was moist. The dampness increased as they dug deeper and water started gushing out when they burrowed to a depth of eight feet.
“It was around 1 pm when Khalil Ahmed, Salma, Pradeep and Praveen Kumar were digging up a pit. A stream came out when it was dug up to 8 feet and the quantity of water increased as they went deeper,” secretary of local panchayat Balkar Singh said. The water was also found in four other pits, which were being dug in a line. The news spread like wildfire and people thronged the village in large numbers. Yamunanagar Deputy Commissioner S.S. Phulia who along with Haryana Assembly Speaker Kanwar Pal Gurjar had launched the excavation work rushed to the spot. He tasted the water and then joined the people who have been digging the course of the dead river for the past 15 days. Work on Saraswati river project was launched on April 21.
The government believes that the lost river originates from Adi Badri area and flows through 41 villages in the Yamunanagar district. Excavation work has been started in eight villages for which Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has made budgetary provisions worth `50 crore.
A huge check dam, measuring 400 acres, has also been proposed on the Somb river that will be diverted to the Saraswati river. The mythical Saraswati river, according to the historians, had dried up 4,000 years ago. Satellite images had mapped its course that once flowed through North-Western India. Remote sensing experts had said that the river vanished after a powerful earthquake hit its course.
Traces of Saraswati river are found in the holy city of Kurukshetra. It is believed that the river once flowed through Thanesar, the capital of erstwhile Harshvardhan’s kingdom, which is located close to Kurukshetra. Legend has it that the Saraswati once fed two wells known as Kapalmochan and Ranmochan in which the Pandavas had taken bath.
If revived, Saraswati may boost the state’s religious tourism besides quenching the thirst of villages located on its course.
It is nice to know that Saraswati river is alive
Haryana govt has done a good job. people say that Saraswati river can be seen at Alahabad Triveni Sangamam. now we can have holy dip in river saraswathi

Thanks for the valuable information.Congrats to the efforts of Haryana Govt. & fof allottment for further developments.
my heart leaped on reading this as my grandmother always told us her parents told them that one day when mother sarraswati will appear to man shree raam presence will return as he promised ma durga her hand in sacred matrimony in kaliyug. her appearance is returning to mankind. jai shree raam
Amazing,hope to visit the holy Yamuna.God bless all those who have brought hidden Yamuna River out.
Thank God!!!!!! Thanks to Haryana Government. Our SARASWATHI MATHA will come again. It is here where HINDU’S intellect emerged. Hence we respect the education as Goddess Saraswathi. Let the world know about the sacredness of Hinduism. Pray SARASWATHI MATHA to shower her blessings on the ant-Hindu creatures both inside and outside India to turn their mind to right path.
ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO HARYANA GOVERNMENT FOR ITS EFFORTS TO UNEARTH THE LOST RIVER SARASWATHI.
Any effort to revive the river Saraswati must be resisted tooth and nail. In the name of promoting religious tourism, people will pollute it. It’s water shall used for irrigation and other purposes and it will eventually dry up. Clean, pure and hidden Saraswati is more desirable than dry and polluted one. Efforts must be diverted towards cleaning up Ganga and Yamuna. Save Saraswati from the barbaric animals called humans
Interesting,eagerly waiting for further developments
Dear Sir Thisvery exciting news really thrill us and we hope that the course of the River be traced very soon.

Saraswati Waters found
Congratulations !
I lived on this river for many times
in very ancient times, as 8.600 yrs back.
Then, we lived and worked in the closeness of Saraswati.
It is good that this mystical river becomes real again.
At these olden tiomes the closeness of the goddess and other gods was just natural, and part of our daily life, in a city ot then
30.000 inhabitants ! even with a huge palm library …
May this closeness of the living Divine also come back in our modern times !
Yours

Once the real thing comes out, then only it can be believed.
A very very good news & our shradha, happiness & shashtras faith have taken a leap which knows no bounds. While working at REC Kurukshetra (1967-1977), we used to discuss existence of Saraswathi underground near Kurukshetra & going towards Pehowa & Kaithal side but finally getting diverted towards Rajasthan side. Let us see how the story develops? Whether we will be able to take a real dip in Saraswati before departing to other world?
At least stop calling it MYTHICAL –that is what the Colonizers called everything related to Hindu facts!
Of course she’s alive! She went underground at the beginning of Kali-yuga, fearing the sinful people of this age bathing in her waters. Perhaps we should respect her choice!
How is it possible that the chaste wife of Lord Siva will marry Lord Rama, who has taken eka-patni-vrata to only ever marry Sita devi?
Visnu is the husband of Laksmi, Siva is the husband of Parvati. It is ludicrous to suggest the gods would “wife-swap” in this way.
At last, the voice of reason.
It’s a thrilling news. Salute to the effort to revive our glorious past. Praying for the success.
Sincere thanks to all those involved in bringing back Saraswathi river back to common man
happy to see our ancient river is still alive
Ganga – Yamuna – Saraswati : The three sacred rivers must be given due respect and all efforts must be made in order to conserve them for their cultural and social values, besides others.
All is true about Sanatan Dharma. Dont doubt your civilization. The seed of doubt is shown by british. Max muller was their agent. Read Breaking India . They created mythical aryan invasion theory. I have gone around the world and seen, respect our culture. Do t be agent of europe anc anti hindu party congress headed by italianblood
your idea is correct
Nice to hear that Maa sarswathy has appeared. With Expert water diviners & satelite I think it is possible to find the route of Maa saraswathy !!!
from this point we can start the nationalisation of indian rivers programme. we want our country to be more prosperous. indians !!! pl unite and start contributing for joining all our river maathaajis.
We can always see saraswathi gushing out near vedvyasa cave at badrinath….near mansa village
GOD is with you.
Feels very auspicous to me!
All these years it was believed as Sri. Saraswati Nadi was ANTARAGAAMINI . It was also believed that it is joining with GANGA , YAMUNA and called as Triveni sangama.
It’s too early to come down to say it is Saraswati river. If it is really so, we are lucky to have it in this Kaliyuga.
It is also said that it reappear during end of Kaliyuga . Any comment ?
You don’t have shame to talk like this.
Feel sorry otherwise the curse will follow you soon…..
A big slap for those who questioned the holy river’s existence 4000 years ago. A good job by Haryana govt. Keep it up.
I think we are really lucky.
Its really amazing that Saraswathi river is found after 4000 yrs
Its really wonderful to know about the lost river and a question mark on previous government why they did not think on it. A great job done by this team , thank you so much.
Happy to know the Fruitful Result…….Saraswathi Rever
Let Govt take more precaution to bring it back to all Sanatana Dharma followers
Let the govt take more precautions for its existence for ever
Please discontinue the reference of the word ‘mythical, to holy Saraswati – a term denigrating Hindus SanatanaDharma traditions by Eurocentric racially biased foreigners headed by the British Colonialists who could not accept or tolerate any civilisation older than the Greek. Saraswati ‘s course described in the ancient literature tallies with modern Satellite pictures on seeing which the westerners grudgingly started to admit the antiquity of Vedic civilisation and the reversal of the Aryan invasion hollow theeories
It is good, river Saraswati is emerging, but people and government must be vigilent to keep her clean, rather than waking up after it gets polluted and indulge in wasting the tax money to clean it. People of India must be vigilent to do right things and take this opportunity to benefit from the God-given blessings o f using Saraswati for the cause of welfare of the people. Vigilence is the price of liberty.
This Is Amazing,Othore Saraswati River Situlated At Siddhpur North Gujarat,Vedas Called Only Unmarried River In India,Why I Don’t Know?If Any Body Is Knowing This Fact,Pl Let Me Know.
Thanks.
Amazing.
The culture developed around this river may be known subsequently.
I don’t have any word to say about this great miracle. I think now era is getting change and again we are on the verse of re-establishment of Golden and ritual era. And I am not surprise that any Muslim guy has not commented because they always go away with reality. And even they will comment they will use slang which is in their genes.Hope God will give them intuition to come on right path.
Great work of villager, Nice to here the news relay a god site for given information of Hindu culture and history . From my opinion pollution of ganga & yamuna is because of holy tourist spot or taking holy deep in it there are several cause on of the major ones are sending all waste chemical water from industrial area and also sewerage line are connected to these river this should be stopped that i feel more than cleaning of these rivers can be done. Just giving reason for holy tourist is not fare.
