Preface In the ancient time, the Sindhu civilisation developed and flourished around the Sindhu (Indus) River. At one time that civilisation evolved and grew in size for reasons known and unknown. After some years, the people walked aimlessly in search of another place to settle, finally reaching the banks of river Sarasvati. That was the Vedic Age. At that time the Sarasvati river was wider than Indus, had strong currents and more fertile lands to offer. On the bank of Sarasvati, grew the Indus Sarasvati Civilisation. Till date, it is debatable why Sarasvati was treated with so much respect and worshipped both as a river and a goddess!
