River Ghaggar-Hakra

The Ghaggar-Hakra River is a seasonal river in India and Pakistan that flows intermittently during monsoon rains. Historically, it is believed to be linked to the ancient Sarasvati River, which supported the flourishing civilizations of the Indus Valley. Today, the river’s flow varies, often drying up in parts, yet it holds cultural and archaeological significance as it passes through regions rich in history. Its changing course and seasonal nature make it important for understanding the environmental and historical shifts in northwest India and Pakistan.
