In this fascinating episode of Did You Know? from the Immortal India Podcast, Amish Tripathi unravels the mystery of the lost Saraswati River—a river celebrated in the Vedas yet missing from modern maps.
The Rigveda mentions Saraswati ji nearly 50 times, far more than the Ganga ji. Described as the Naditama (greatest of rivers), it was said to flow from the Himalayas to the Sea. But if it was once so mighty, why did it vanish?
Amish delves into:Ancient Vedic references and Saraswati’s role in India’s spiritual traditionsScientific and satellite imagery that traces an ancient riverbed in modern India and PakistanArchaeological discoveries at Rakhigarhi and Kalibangan—evidence of a thriving civilization along its banksTheories behind its disappearance—tectonic shifts, climate change, and river captureIts enduring spiritual significance—from the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj to the Mahakumbh Mela
Could the Saraswati still exist—flowing underground, as many believe? Or is it truly lost to time? Watch as Amish explores this ancient enigma through history, science, and legend.
