Dear Shri Mathur,

As you are aware, the Department of Culture, GOI has \^Vr\oi started a Project to conduct a multidlscipilnary (geo-technical, archaeological, cultural and ethnological) study of the River Sarasvati and its basin and to develop along the jriver courses 15 bs dedicated to research and tourism all through from Adi Badri Haryana to Dholavira In Gujarat. Six of such hubs have beenl identified so |far for Haryana. Each hub will have a documentation centre/museum, an office,, huts for lodging scholars/researchers - al| set In a landscaped I W? park with a sarovar. Two of the six places identified in Haryana for the proposed hubs are:- ! 5^*^/ (!>KAdi Badri, District Yamunanagarl traditionally blelieved to bi the source of Sarasvati and ,

Kapal Mochan, District Yamunanagar, a Holy place on the Sarasvati.

An ASl team with the assistance■ of ithe concerjied Djstrlct f^P revenue officers has identified about 9 acres ofi land at Adi Badri and about 6 acres of land that li!es about: one km. to the north west of the Kapaimochan sarovars and close of Village Wlohri for kapal Mochan! Maps tor Doth the sites are .enclosed. I I Shri Jagmohan. Hon'ble Minister for tourism and Culture is deeply interested in promoting archaeO|logical research -and tourism in Haryana, for which he has launched anjd funded several schemes for Kurukshetra, Thanesar and jKapalmochan already. [/ Now he Is keen to immediately start the wgrk of Iconstruction and development of each of the hubs in Haryana.

Contd 21' I

2 :

For the proposed works at Adi Badri and Kapal Mochan (both in Yamunanagar), speedy acquisition of land is imperative. I would therefore request you to kindly direct the D|C, Yamunanagar to invoke the emergency clause under the Land Acquisition Act for acquiring the identified land in both cases. I wo'uld also request that an area of one km. radius of the proposed I'and at Adi Badri be declared as a controlled area. In the case of Kapalmochan, the controlled area may be one km. on three sides and 500 metres on the north west where village Mohri is located. i

In the controlled area,_no activity other than the prevalent land use should take place*"~by^ any agency, whether state or private, without clearance from ASI. These measures would greatly help in expeditious implementation of the above-mentioned development plans for Haryana. 1 U)tifr I

Yours sincerely,

( GAURI CHATTERJI )

His Excellency is aware .that Adi Badri, in Tehsil Bilaspur, District ■ "X Yamunanagar has been chosen to be developed under the 'Resurgence / of Saraswati Project' with a view to protect and promote the cultural-^ heritage of the country. | Saraswati River has been widely recognised by scholars as the cradle of the Indian civilisation. Site of the Vedic civilisation, it has been accepted as the holiest of all the rivers in the Rig Ved'a. It also finds,a lyrical reference in the classic work 'Meghdoot! by the immortal poet Kalidas. Adi Badri is the place where the trace of.the descent of the river Saraswati from the Shivalik hills to the plains of Haryan'a is very evident. Now excavation and exploration work Is being carried out by the- Archaeological Survey of India as part of the larger scheme of 'Resurgence of Saraswati Project". It is an attempt to re-discover and ' document the cultural assemblage of the ancient and holy river from Adi Badri in Haryana to Dholavira in Gujrat. It has the distinction of being one of the eight cultural hubs chosen to be developed under the Project. The results have, been most encouraging and. would go a long way in rediscovering the glory that is the shared heritage of all proud Indians. 'v.. The people of Haryana in general and I, in particular, would be ' honoured if you would take some time out of your busy schedule to visit the haloed site. We are all looking forward to your consent.

Your sincerely,

F.No. 1/3/2003-SP/EE Government of India Archaeological Survey of India

Janpath, New Delhi Dated the 23'^ October 2003 To The Deputy Commissioner - 2005 District Yamunanagar "' Haryana Subject: Illegal construction near the archaeological site of Adi Badri - regarding Sir

It has been reported by our fieid officer that some illegal construction of house / hotel Is taking place near the archaeological site of Adi Badri. The ancient site at Adi Badri is one among the 15 hub sites identified by the Archaeological Survey of India (AS!) under the Sarasvati Heritage Project (SHP)for which Shri Jagmohan, the Hon'ble Minister of Tourism and Culture, Government of India is the Chairman. The ASi has proposed to construct an archaeological complex at Adi Badri which would include an interpretation centre, orientation centre, office, lodging and public amenities for the scholars, students, tourists, etc., as well as a centre of research, dissemination of knowledge, culture and ancient sciences. In this regard, the ASI has already carried out excavation at three different sites of Adi Badi and the results have been quite revealing.

Under these circumstances, the illegal constructions near the ancient site would not only mar the cultural as well as natural ambience of the site but also lead to unbridled construction activities. I Your intervention at this stage is very much essential to stop such activities at and near the ancient site of Adi Badri. Yours faithfully

This Is with reference to our brief personal discussions recently.

As you know, the Ministry of Tourism & Culture, Govt. of India has ^ undertaken a project to conduct a multidisciplinary , (geo-technical, archaeological, cultural and ethnological) study of river Sarasvati and-its basin to develop among the river course 15:. hubs synthesizing The F un:^ij>^^,i^elements of culture, research, tourism and good civic life all along from • Adi Badri in Haryana to Dholavira in Gujarat. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is the nodal agency for-irnplementation. c Eight of such hubs have been Identified so far in Haryana. Each hub will have an orientation center, documentation center/museum, an office and huts for lodging scholars/ researchers .- all set in a landscaped Kaithal- Kalayat, Banawali, Sirsa, Agroha and Rakhigarhi. !

The ASI has requested the Government of Haryana for acquisition nd at the aboye sites for the purpose of development of the hubs. I jI\/^ iven to understand that "the issue of final notification for Adi Badri as been duly approved by the State Government, and the cases of Thanesar, Rakhigarhi, Banawwali are at various stages of processing/ verification/ notification. A status report prepared by the Chandigarh Circle of ASI is enclosed for your reference. However, land at Kapal Mochan, Kalayat/ Kaithal, Sirsa and Agroha still remain to be identified. I \ The speedy acquisition of land at placed like Adi Badri, Thanesar - Kurukshetra, Banawali and Rakhigarhi is imperative for starting construction work of the said archaeological complexes for which the

Contd..pg.2 V -2-

Department of Tourism has already earmarked an amount of Rs.8 crores for the current financial year (2003-2004).

I, therefore, earnestly request "you to kindly look Into the matter personally and ask the concerned officers In the Secretariat or In the districts to expedite the matter so that the ASI gets possession of the land that Is required for Implementation of the Project. For facility of reference, I am endorsing a copy of this letter to Shri Manik Sonawane, Secretary, Culture & Archaeology, Govt. of Haryana and concerned beputy Commissioners.

With warm regards. Yours sincerely,

(Dhanendra Kumar)

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is the nodal agency for implementation. Eight of such hubs have been identified so far in Haryana. Each hub will have an orientation center, documentation center/museum, an office and huts for lodging scholars/ researchers - all set in a-landscaped part with a sarovar. iThe hub sites which have beenjdent^ed in Haryana so far are Adi Badri, Kapal Mochan, Thanesar, Kaithal- Kalayat, Banawall, Slrs^, Agr^a and R^higarhi. The ASI has requested the Government of Haryana for acquisition of land at the above sites for the purpose of development of the hubs. I am given to understand that the issue of final notification for Adi Badri has been duly approved by the State Government, and the cases o Thanesar, Rakhigarhi, Banawwali are' at various stages of Processing/ verification/ notification. A status report prepared by the Chandigarh Circle of ASI is enclosed for your reference. However, land at Kapal Mochan, Kalayat/ Kaithal, Slrsa and Agroha still remain to be identified.

'f f The speedy acquisition of land at placed like Adi Badri, Thanesar Kurukshetra, Banawali and Rakhigarhi is imperative for starting cffistruction work of the said archaeological complexes for which the Contd..pg.2 -1-

Department of Tourism has already earmarked an amount of Rs.8 crores for the current financial year (2003-2004).

I, therefore, earnestly request you to kindly look into the matter personally and ask the concerned officers in the Secretariat or in the districts to expedite the matter so that the ASI gets possession of the land that is required for implementation of the Project. For facility of reference, I am endorsing a copy of this letter to Shri Manik Sonawane, Secretary, Culture & Archaeology, Govt. of Haryana and concerned Deputy Commissioners.

Dear

As you, perhaps, might be aware that the interpretation Centre and Archaeological Site Museum at Adi Badri in District Yamuna Nagar of Haryana established by the Archaeological Survey of India are of immense historical importance. Deputy Commissioner, Yamuna Nagar has some time back visited the excavation site at this place and reported (photocopy of the D.O. letter attached) that the said Museum is in a bad shape and the Interpretation Centre is also required to be made functional by the Archaeological Survey of India.

In view of the historical importance attached with this Museum and the Site, I shall be grateful if you could kindly direct the authorities concerned of the Archaeological Survey of India to restore the glory of the Museum in the manner it deserves and make proper arrangements for the upkeep of the site.

presen^^^PRESENCE OF VEDIC district SARASWATI yamunanagar, SIGNATURE hary INana ADI BADRI

INTRODUCTION

Adi Badri (30° 27 ' N; 77° 27' E) lies in the foothills of'Siwalik Range, just south of its escarpment in bhabar area, in the district of Yamunanagar^ in the northern portion of Haryana. It is approachable firom Jagadhn by a 40 on long all weather road via Bilaspur. The nearest village is Kathgarh, which is situated,2 km southwest fromlthis^ locality Adi Badri is known for its temples of Adi jBadri Narayan, Kedamath and Mantra Devi. There is a mention in the scriptures that the "great sage Ved Vyas composed Shrimad Bhagwat, comprising 18000 verses. Whijh is the shining jewel among Puranas. here at this locality. It is on this basis that Ved Yyks is called 'Badara^ana' also. Bhagwat is a composite treatise wherein the glory of three deities viz. Visjmu. Shrva and Shdcti ■© has been sung. This is the reason that Adi Badri is recognized as the sacred 'teertha' or . holy place for Vaishnavas. Adi Kedar for Shaivas .and Mantra Devi temple site for austere penance by worshipers of Shri -Vidya.. All these temples are situated close to one another in the picturesque landscape. It is mentioned in Shrimad Bhagwat that Ved Vyas composed this treatise in 'Shyamaprasa Ashram' or hermitage situate^ on the left bank of river Saraswati' in riorthem region of India (Ved Vyas). The features and charactenstics of Shyamaprasa Ashram geographically match ver>. well with that of Adi Badn. It is thrther corroborated on the presence of an ancient town of Vyaspur (Bilaspur) that is located nearby. -

\

STATUS OF ACTIVITIES

Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is carrying out excavations m the area for assessing the heritage and antiquity. The ASI has identified three sites viz. ABR-I, ABR- n and ABR-m for exploration. ABR-I and ABR-H sites are located on the western side of Saraswati-Somb valley whereas ABR-III is situated on its eastern side. ABR-R site is located on a ridge, locally knovin as Itonwali that is situated almost 500 m north east of Kathgarh and geographically it is the highest excavation site which lies nearly 250 m above the present day river bed. It is ABR-n excavation site that has generated immense geological interest. In two pits opened for study by ASI, veiy interesting section has been exposed. Detailed observation reveals that this ridge constitutes the basal part oJTStgggce, which is the oldest terrace in outer Himalaya during Holocene period. In this section, submun^ pebbles are exposed that are aligned almost parallel to the valley configuration which clearly indicate the impact of alluvial action.

SIGNATURE OF VEDIC SARASWATI

On closer scratiny, the exposed pebbles on this Ts terrace contain elements, as expected, having provenance or parentage of Siwalikrocks. On further analyses of these pebbles exposed in pits of ABR-fi site, it was startling to discover also pebbles of^ grade metamorphic rocks like mica schist, guartzite and metabasi^apart fiom majority of'^SbteXfWik rocks'lUrTXcIl knorvn geological knowledge that these high grade metamorphic rocks are not found in the Siwalil^s right fiom Kashmir Himalaya in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern part of Himalayan extremity. Therefore, the occurrence of pebbles of high grade metamorphic rocks in Ta terrace of V

ABR-II site in Adi Badri area constitutes 'alien' parentage or provenance. A scrutiny of lithology of these 'alien' pebbles indicates that these high grade metamorphic rocks belong to Central Crystallines and Jutogh group of rocks that are found scores of kilometers away towards north and north east in the Central Himalaya, Moreover, the aforesaid locality is situated very near to Sudanwala T3 terrace (Puri,-1999) towards north east that lies over Siwalik hills and possess pebbles of similar lithology wherein the ratio of high grade metamorphic rock pebbles is extremely high.

The above referred discovery is an ad(htional irrefutable scientific evidence of tlie existence of an ancient drainage that was capable of bringing pebbles of high grade metamorphic rocks. Any drainage originating from Siwalik hills can not transport pebbles of high grade metamorphic rocks and deposit pn its own terraces since these rocks do not I exit in Siwalik hills as mentioned earlier. Thierefdre, an ancient river that.possessed its catchment area encompassing rocks of Centfal Crystallines and Jutogh Group brought down these pebbles. That river is none else;than-Vedic Saraswati that had traversed through this site, transported pebbles from jits catchment area enclosing high grade metamorphic rocks, lying scores of kilometers' away in Central Himalaya and deposited it on the present day oldest terrace in ABR-E excavation site of Adi Badri area (Puri, ■ Op.Cit.).

It is interesting to record that pehbles of younger generation viz, T2 and Ti terraces on which excavation sites of ABR-I and HI are located, contain rocks restricted to Siwalik Super Group only. This observation clearly indicates that these younger terraces were deposited by Vedic Saraswati also but its conduit from the original catchment area in Central Himalaya had beenjblocked by tectonic activity (Puri Op.Cit.) that had got restricted subsequently to Siwalik hills only.

CONCLDSIOM.

The above scientific find, fet^i^kind from Adi Badr^ is an exclusive scientific proof to establish that diis terrace of Itonwali ridge was deposited by Vedic Saraswati that was entering Indo-Gangatic plain from Himalaya at this ocality^ Accordingly, it can safely be surmised that this locality or Adi Badri was' Handwar of Vedic Saraswati.

DETECTION OF UNDERGROUND WATER.

1654SHRIPRAKASH KESHAV JAVADKAR

Will the Minister of WATER RESOURCES be pleased to satate (a) the progress ofthe mission for detection of underground water source of disappeared mythological river Saraswati; (b) whether it is true that the satellite images have conclusively established the underground track of Saraswati; and (c)if so, through how many States it is passing and why should the precious water resources, not be exploited to meet the growing demand?

ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES (SHRI VINCENT H.PALA) (a) The Ministry of Water Resources has not launched any Mission for detection of underground water sources of disappeared m5dhological river Saraswati. (b)& (c) A study has been carried out jointly by the Scientists of Regional Remote Sensing Service Centre, Indian Space Research Organisation, Jodhpur and Ground Water Department, Government of Rajasthan, Jodhpur. The results of the study have been presented in the article titled ''New Findings of the Course of River Sarasvati,", published in the Journal of Indian Society of Remote Sensing. The authors have concluded as under. "Clear signatures of palaeo channels on the satellite imagery in the form of a strong and powerful continuous drainage system in the NW region and occurrence of archaeological sites of Pre-Harappan, Harappan and Post Harappan age, beyond doubt indicate the existence of a mighty palaeo drainage system of Vedic Sarasvati river in this region. As observed from satellite imagery river Sarasvati flowed eastward more or less parallel to the river Indus and shifted its course within a much narrower zone of less than 40 km. The major (western most) channel of river Sarasvati remained more or less constant and imchanged and is considered to be the actual Rig Vedic Sarasvati river. The description and magnanimity of these channels also matches with the River Sarasvati described in the Vedic literature. From the prominence and width of the palaeo channels on the satellite data, supported with data from archaeological finds, age and quality of ground water, sediment type, etc., it is confirmed that river Sarasvati had its major course through present day river Ghaggar and further passing through parts of Jaisalmer and adjoining region in Pakistan and finally discharging into the Rann of Kachchh. A major palaeo channel of the river passes through Jaisalmer district while a considerable part of the river drained further, inside Pakistan." SARASWATI RIVER - KALAYAT FINDINGS Dr. A.R. Chaudhri Department of Geology Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra [email protected] Saraswati River, the mightiest of all the Vedic rivers that drained the northern part of the country flowed majestically from the Hi^er Himalayas to the Arabian Sea. Along this river and its tributaries, as is expected, flourished numerous civilizations the relics of which are found in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat. In Haryana, Dukheri in Ambala, Ratta Kher Khuram in Kurukshetra, Dhakal, Jind, Kalait in Jind, and several other localities in Kamal, Sonepat, Rohtak, Bhiwani and Hisar districts have archeological remains of Saraswati settlements. In fact, Saraswati was a perennial glacier fed river the present day rivers debouching the region represent the active and not so active channels through which this mighty river drained and developed this part of the fertile alluvial plains. The rivers Satluj, Ghaggar. Markanda, Tangri and Yamuna were most likely tributaries / channel of this mighty river. The vast flood plains of these rivers In sharp contrast to their present day water discharge volume and their geomorphic features point towards the presence of a major fluvial system in these in the Recent past(Chaudhri, 2002)

Study of satellite imageries of the region has revealed the presence of numerous paleochannels in Haryana. Yamuna tear fault, Bata water divide and some other tectonic movements in the near geological past appear to have altered the drainage in the region and rendered Saraswati to its present dwindling position.

The Quaternary period was a turbulent and tectonically active part of the earth's history. Beginning at 1.8 million years, the glacial period started in the Indian subcontinent just at the culmination of the Siwalik phase of deposition. The Upper Siwalik Boulder Conglomerate Formation was largely deposited in colder climatic regime as is evidenced by near absence of fossils in it. Three to four glaciations have been recorded in India. About 10,000 years ago the glaciers started melting and the clirhate" slowly warmed up. It was during this time that the Sraswati river bec^e active. The author aiid Ms group have recorded the presence of undecomposed rock -fragments of high grade metamorphic and crystalline rocks in Siwalik sediments which, is indicative) of"derivation of the detritus from North where these rocks are exposed (Chaudhri, 1991, 2000, 2001). This substantiates the author's view regarding the prevalence of a mighty fluvial river system wMch was capable of carrying boulder to pebble sized particles over a vast distance. Field investigations by author have revealed the presence of such fragments in river terraces at Adi Badri in the piedmont reach of the saraswati channel.

The author has carried out detailed sedimentological and geohydrological investigations at Kalayat where fresh underground water incursion is taking place in the Kapil Muni Temple Sarovar, The temperature of underground water oozing out into the Temple Sarovar is 26° C while that of the surrounding pond water is 21°C. The underground water is sweet to taste has a lower TDS content but slightly higher Fluoride content as compared to the brackish water of the pond and the surrounding region of Kalayat and Narwana. The sediments that are coming out with the water are rich in micaceous minerals and heavy minerals. The sand visibly appears to be different from the top soil exposed in the entire region. The results of sedimentological and geohydrological investigations Ireveal the presence of subangular to subrounded, well sorted detrital sediments. The sorting of sediments suggests their deposition in medium to high energy fluvial sedimentary paleoenvironment. Angular fragments are also frequently noticed in the detritus. The heavy mineral studies have revealed the presence of tourmaline,nitile, garnet, staurolite. epidote. zoisite, titanite, brookite, corundum, biotite, chlorite, kyanite, hornblende etc. This suite of heavies strongly suggests their derivation from higher Himalayas where high grade crystalline and metamorphic rocks are exposed. Angular to subangular shapes of majority of the heavy minerals reflects their first cycle of origin as well as the high current velocity.

The near continuous visible seepage of underground water in the Kapil Muni Temple Sarovar probably reflect the presence of an acquifer related to a paleochannel of the mighty Saraswati River. The erstwhile high current velocity river that flowed through this channel brought sediments from the Hjgher Himalayas where high grade crystalline and metamorphic rocks are exposed to denudation.

The paleo-channels of this river are the sites where fresh water in huge quantities is likely to be available in the buried river channels and the associated acquifers. The delineation of these shall help mitigate drinking and irrigation water problems as a major part of the terrain once drained by this river has become a water scarce saline tract.

Very feeble impressions of the old river courses are available through the satellite imageries in the alluvial plains of Haryana as the same have been camouflaged by the thick alluvium deposits and intensive cultivation and manipulation of the soil for a long time. But analysis and interpretation of satellite imageries acquired during the flooding period in 1993 and 1995 have provided interesting patterns and features in Haryana plains. The water flowed through the lowest elevations during the flooding, recharging and recreating old chaimels through the plains. Thus a number of palaeo-channels, which were not observed in normal imagery, were clearly discernible on the satellite imagery of this period. Existence of large number of palaeo-channels in the area supports the belief of the mighty river Saraswati Flowing through the area. These small channels might be the tributaries of the mighty river, or may indicate migration ofthe river from east to west, as suggested by some researchers.

Saraswati Paleao-channels are the natural drainages which can be exploited for flood management purposes. Since palaeo-channels are composed of deposits of porous material, they have a high recharging potential. Thus these palaeochannels act as the natural undergroimd water storage houses which can accommodate huge volume of water during flooding. Therefore, palaeo-channels are very good sites for recharging ground water during monsoon/ flooding season. This stored water can subsequently be used for irrigation/ drinking during the lean

season.

Secondly these palaeo-channels could be exploited for planning the proper alignment and networking of flood drains as they occur through the lowest elevation and pass through the flood affected areas. This may help properly tacking flooding problem in the state.

These palaeo-channels can also be used for identification of proper sites for construction of check dams, studs, embankments and other type of structures for controlling floods.

Note on Revival of Saraswati Nadi The Ancient Saraswati Nadi is believed by many to have its originjn^e vicinity of Ad-Badri at the foot hi^of Shiwalik ranges in District Yamuna Nagar. This view is not supported through Archeological res^gch. It is further traced that the track of the sacred Saraswati Nadi is in existence in the vicinity of Kapal Mochan area of Biiaspur town and joining Chautang Nallah. Smce Chautang Nallah is already channelized up to WJC canal, the portion of Saraswati Nadi up to Chauntang Nallah has become redui^t. • Total length of the sacred Saraswati Nadi from Adi Badri to Jyotisar (near SYL Canal Syphon) is about 125 KM. Further, from village Thana Chhapper (in District Yamuna Nagar) the river creak has a length of 93 KM approximately passing in proximity to village Uncha Chandana-Jhinwerheri-Jaundaula-Bir Pipli-Narkatari (i.e. in the Districts of Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra) and is ultimately fmding its way to Bibipur Lake in District Kurukshetra through existing syphon under SYL and Narwana Branch canals. Approximately in a length of 42 KM from Adi Badri to Uncha Chandana, natural creak is there in shape of small drain. From Uncha Chandana to G.T. Road (63 ICM approximately) the old creak is being converted to Saraswati Nadi Distributary with 200 cusecs capacity. • Excavation of Saraswati Nadi has been done in a length of 63 KM. except 4.5 KM in stretch where balance land to be acquired is 17.92 acres, for which award is pending. . During Khrif water would be released to the extent of 200 cusecs from KM. 31.89 of Shahbad Feeder of Dadupur Nalvi Scheme near Uncha- Chandana Village (Yamuna Nagar). Shahbad Feeder is already commissioned on 2""* August, 2009. It has been traced that after Jyotisar, the ancient creak is beiieved to traverse through existing Bibipur iake, Saraswati drain (in Pehowa area) \ ♦ and then through cheeka area and merging into river Para near village Kharka (in Kaithal District) joining river Ghaggar in Punjab Territory. Total approximate length of Saraswati Nadi from Jyotisar to Punjab Territory is about 60 KM. 9 Govt. of Haryana has sanctioned Rs. 10.05.Cr. for revival of Saraswati

Nadi. » Total expenditure so far incurred is 3.75 Crores (i/c 1.25 crore for excavation). • 9 No. new bridges have already been constructed on new paths. On old paths the bridge are aheady available. Work in the balance portion i.e. in 20 KM. length from Pipli to SYL canal in District Kurukshetra is yet to be taken up under Phase-I. With passage of time, the Saraswati creak has been converted into a drain. Keeping in view the sentiments of people we are changing it from Saraswati Drain to Saraswati Nadi Distributary and making arrangements for stopping entry of dirty waters in this channel. • In 20 KM. length from G.T. Road to SYL Canal Sewerage is being put into old creak by HUDA and Public Health Department. • HUDA has prepared a project of Rs. 16.60 Crores for constructing a separate sewer. Public Health is to acquire land for installation of STP for treatment of sewerage after approval of project, under consideration of

Government. • On the bank of ancient Saraswati, various historical Mandirs have been found to be located viz Kapal Mochan, Mustafabad, Bhamanpur, Narkatari, Pehowa etc. It is further believed that sacred Saraswati Nadi has its track further in Pehowa to Kalayat area. An NGO ''Saras\^ati Nadi Sodh Sanshthan Haryana'' is taking active interest in revival of ancient Saraswati Nadi in its entire track. Two seminars were also held on this matter on 22.10.2008 and 21.11.2009 at Kurukshetra, wherein the representative from ONGC (Oil & Natural Gas Commission), Kurukshetra University, Geological survey of India and other f ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization), were invited. Further it has been decided that the 2 Nos. wells will be got drilled near Pehowa/Kalayat/Kapil Muni Mandir area for exploratory purposes, so that traces of sacred Saraswati Nadi could be analyzed. ONGC is carrying out Geophysical and Geoelectric survey for drilling the wells in association with Kunikshetra University. • Pehowa/ Kalayat area will be covered in phase -II and old revenue record is being studied. Further studies in Kalayat area have released that sweet water is available in deep acquirers and possibility of ancient Saraswati is being examined. h.

Under your leadership the development of Haryana is touching new height but we would like to bring to your attention towards utter negligence ancient Buddhist sites In Haryana. Nearly all the Ancient Buddhist sites under the jurisdiction of Haryana State Archaeological Department; Panchkula are being neglected and damaged for a long time. ' j The condition of ancient site of Sugh in district Yamaunanagar is pathetic . Monu.ments on the top of the site are being lost day by day .Pilfering of the ancient bricks and smuggling artefacts like coins, beads , idols and terracotta's etc. is common practice 'here. In reply to RTl filed by the Buddhist Forum it is revealed that during 1999-2011, no amount has been spent on the protection ai-d preservation of site by the State Archaeological Department. In the picture of ancient site we can see ploughing by the local farmers in which heavy modem-machiiies I;ke '.ractors mlghi have been been used . But authority never took action to prevent it. Here the Slate Archaeoiogicarofficials did not consider to follow the Archaeological Sites and Remains Act,1958. ;

The only ancient surviving stupa now left in north India, which was built by Emperor Asoka in village Cha.neti near Jagadhari was also unpro.^essionally renovated . Now it has been cransformcd into a new built stupa. A letter was addressed to Director General A.S.I , New Delhi from Tfic Buddhist Forum to inform liim against faulty renovation but no action was against guilt}' officials'of A.S.I who were involved in renovation process of Char.oti stu^a .Tiie stupa has now lost ils ancient form, grace and charm for which it was known eatiler ..Modem day bricks have been placed ever, the stupa. The State and Centre officials jointly broke Archaeological Site.s and Rema''n<-Act'. 1958. •

In ihe same AVay remains of one such stupa and monasteries niay still be seen on an elevated around between the Brahma Sarovara and the KurulcsJietra University.

Sub: Queries and concern about the preservation measures undertaken by ofBcials of Archeological Survey of India towards ancient Buddha Stupa in Chaneti "Village, District Yamuna Nagar (Haryana) ' ,

Respected Sir,

I Sidhartha, on the behalf of"The Buddhist Forum" a N.G.O working for the promotion of the Buddhist monuments in India pays you regard. Archeological Survey of India'is doing work for preserving the ancient Buddha stupa situated at Chaneti village inYamuna Nagar district ofHaryana.

I recently visited the Chaneti Stupa and astonished to see that the preservation!work is being done withouttaking into consideration the original design and shape ofthe stupa.I have following queries;

(a) Old Picture before preservation (b)Renovation with New Bricks 1.

According to archeological principle of preservation, the ancient monuments should be preserved with maintaining its original shape as it has been excavated. But in this case, after seeing the two pictures we can clearly see that the oldshapeofnicheofthis stupa hasbeen totally modified from its original design. #1, Shivaji Park, Pyara Chowk Yamuna Nagar - 135 001 (Haryana) INDIA Vjit- : /:> The Buddhist Forum Website; www.lhebuddhlstforum.com I • ,-v "V' VOICE OF DHAMMA Mob.:+ 91 98965-10806 |r Fax: +91 1732-232319

It is my.immense pleasui-e in presenting you the seconcl edition of the Book 'S^RSwgti D^rshgn'. This edition ofthe book is pertaining to the fgctsl^nd figures improvising the holiness ofthe river 'Vedic S^rgswgti'. The S^rgsw^ti is not only 9 river but 9 symbol of fgith for millions of Indians. The river h^d been 9 life-line for many ofthe ancient civilizationsI ' like'' Harappan and I I MohenJodaro. But due to tectonic movements this mighty river has lost into oblivion. But with the beliefs of all our countrymen the task of bringing^back the glory ofthis holy river was started by Shradheya Baba Saheb Apte Ji and Manniya Moropant Pingle Ji through 'Itihaas Sankalan Prakalp' by Padamshri Pr. V.S. Wakankar of W(]ain in 1986, when'he undertook a I month long survey tour of various sites along the S^raswati River bank -with a team of dedicated researchers comprising of historian, archaeologist, geologist; glaciologist, folksingers I W * M and cameramen etc. Starting from Adi Badri, the group travelled upto Pwarka in Gujarat. Due to sudden demise of Pr. Wakankar in 1997 and under the|inspiration of Mananiya Mroropant Ji, the project was taken up by 'Saraswati Nadi Shodh Sansthan' CSNSS), Haryana in 1999. Since then under the learned guidance of Sh. Parshan Lai Ji Jain, the founder president of SNSS, a .1 , 1 great visionary and true devotee of Maa Saraswatf many of.our archaeologists, geoscientists, ' ' ■ 1 • remote sensing and ground water experts etc. have paved the way in the direction of achieving the objectives of revival ofthe river and bringing back the glory ofSaraswati civilization. ' i On the outset of presenting this book to our revered readers, lit is my prime responsibility to thank all those researchers and great scientists who have proved the existence of mighty river Saraswati through their researches and are still continuously engaged towards I 1 'I achieving the objectives ofthe Saraswati Project. On behalf of SNSS, \ am also thankful to the ' ' I ' • I ••• . authors who have contributed for'the present edition of the 'Saraswati Parshan' for their i ■ ' ' magnificent articles." Personally I feel ^reat indebtedness to Sh. Pahsban Lai Ji,Jain, for providing me the opportunity of editing the present version ofthe book,

Subterranean Saraswati Nadi: Revival 22-23 byB.B.Mittal V S"^ntw^ctiQn Sgi-gswgti Pfo[ed;: BHnging bgck the gloty of Ir)4i9n Civilizgtion Amid the varied speculations, observations and researches carried out by eminent1 scientists from the institutions of international repute like IITs, IlSc, ONGC,'lSRO and many more working in the field of archaeology, geology, hydrology, glaciology, remote sensing, ground water etc., it has now been proved scientifically that the so called 'Mythical Saraswati' is no more a myth, but a reality. The Landsat imageries, satellite images of the palaeo-channels, geological and ground water explorations bear eloquent testimony to the antiquity of the river. The evidence of the flow of the river Saraswati and how it meandered as well as the river capturing situations can also be seen clearly in various research papers, survey of India maps, revenue records, archaeological findings and latest satellite images. Saraswati is revered not merely for its sanctity, but also for being the mother of the ancient civilization and cradle of 'Vedic' literature that was conceived on its banks. Hence Saraswati has been eulogised in Rigveda as 'Ambitame, Naditame and Devitame' i.e. best of mothers, mightiest of rivers and holiest of goddesses. Our culture has its association with the river ever since its inception. Unfortunately, owing to tectonic movements it was lost into oblivion. Although the river Saraswati has sunk into oblivion as a physical entity, it has left behind its cultural legacy and signatures on the Indo-Gangetic plains in such a way that it hardly can vanish from the fabric of Indian culture. This very river and its tributaries gave birth to a mighty civilization, sustained a perennial culture and conceived an incredible literature and philosophy. Tangible finds as: have been unearthed from archaeological excavations and the intangible legacy in the form of a living tradition and customs of the people who dwelled on the lost banks of a 1600 km long river, that used to flow from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea, are valuable sources that unfold the age-old Indian civilization. The signs of the lost river revealed from high resolutions satellite imageries suggest the existence of a mighty river underneath the soil which, if properly exploited, can feed the region for several thousand years with the perennial flow of water from a colossal glacier. The buried material of the civilization that was nourished by the water of the river has also been unearthed by archaeological excavations carried out right on the banks of the river. Both the palaeo-channels of the river and the archaeological findings i revealthe story of the Indian civilization from its genesis to the contemporary times. Drainage analysis, basin identification, glaciological and terrace studies suggest that Vedic Saraswati originated from a group of glaciers in Tons Fifth Order basin at Naitwar in Garhwal Himalayas. After originating from Himalaya, this majestic river, flowed in almost south-westerly direction alongwith Bata valley and entered the plains at Adi Badri (a place in the foothills of Shiwalik ranges, situated 36 kms from Jagadhri and 90 kms east of Kurukshetra in Haryana), traversed through present day Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat prior to .joining the Arabian Sea. The place also finds a mention in Shrimad Bhagwat and other scriptures. Ancient Vedic culture prospered around its valley and important towns like Kurukshetra, Pehowa, Shatrana, Sirsa, Kalibangan, Pilibangan, Suratgarh, Beriwal etc flourished on its banks. The recent excavations on western bank of the Som River have brought to light the antiquity of Adi Badri dating back to the pre-Christian era. Many outstanding antiquities, potteries and sculptures have been unearthed from the sites. The findings of the glaciated pebbles of different provenance at Adi Badri excavation site ABR-II also conclusively establish the flow of a mighty river as per report given

1 by Dr. V.M.K. Puri, Ex-Director, GSI and an eminent Glaciologist. Dr, Purl regarded the Adi Badri as Haridwar of Vedic Saraswati. Another evidence of Saraswati River was found at Kapil mum Ashram in Kalayat (Haryana), where subsurface water started bursting out bedside a tank. A multi-disciphna>y scientific team studied the gushing water and the sand that accompanied it. Dr. A R Chaudhri of Kurukshetra University found a suite of angular shaped heavy minerals akin to the one found in Himalayan rocks. Shri Rajesh Purohit conducted geomorphologic studies and concluded that this water belonged to Vedic Saraswati that has been described in Rigveda and other scriptures. Later on, they discovered the actual River bed near Jyotisar (Kurukshetra). During the course of scientific studies carried out from space imageries, scientists from ISRO Jodhpur viz. Dr. A. K. Gupta, B. K. Bhadra and J. R. Sharma discovered a number of fossil valleys restricted to areas around Kurukshetra, Pehowa etc. in upper central Haryana. They interpreted it as remnants of meandering of Vedic Saraswati. Based on satellite imagery, they have drawn out a map of Saraswati (see Figure on inside Front Cover) from Glacier to Rann of Kuchch. As per Dr. Ramesh Hooda, Project Head, HARSAC,HAU, Hisar, Saraswati Palaeo-channels are the natural drainages which can be exploited for flood management purposes. These palaeo-channels act as the natural underground water storage houses which can accommodate huge volume of water during flooding. Besides the above geological and other scientific evidences, village-wise ^revenue record has been collected and compiled proving the flow of Saraswati Nadi in continuity. Survey of India toposheets tally with these-revenue records. In addition to archaeological evidences folklore is an important factor to be considered for establishing a fact. Shrimad Bhagwafwas penned by Maharishl Ved Vyas at Badrayan i.e. Adi Badri. Every year more than 10 lakh pilgrims from North India visit Kapalmochan at Bilaspur (ancient Vyaspur, abode of Maharishi Ved Vyas), 15kms downstream of Adi Badri, for bathing in crescent shaped sarovar on karthik poornima. On the outskirts of the town naga sadhus used to bathe in Saraswah kund at Ajat Ashram, alongside a perennially flowing Saraswati channel. Every evening, aarti is performed at Saraswati Kund in Saraswati Nagar (presently Mustafabad, Distt Yamuna Nagar). You can see people of surrounding villages performing last rites.(asthi visarjan) of their dead at 'Sangam' of Saraswati and Som Nadi at Adi Badri. The matter was also brought before the Hon'ble High Court, Haryana-Punjab at Chandigarh through a Civil Writ Petition (CWP8561 of 1996) by Shri D.P. Dastoor, an advocate of Pehowa (Kurukshetra), Hon'ble Justice Amarjeet Chaudhary passed the following order :- we direct Deputy Commissioner Kurukshetra and the Municipal Committee Pehowa to remove all encroachmentsfr om the land, entries ofwhich are infavour ofSaraswati river Unbelievably, all encroachments were removed voluntarily without any use of force. The monumental work of Govt. & Public co-operation at Pehowa has been beautifully documented by the District Administration in a souvenir (samarika). The Haryana state Government rightly took notice of all these developments and undertook deepening & widening of about 100 kms of Saraswati Creek as per revenue record in Kurukshetra District in the year 2007-08 at a cost of Rs. 16 crores. The state Government has further approached the ONGC to undertake deep-bore drillings as they first did in Libya (Africa) and then at Jaisalmer in Rajasthan (see pic. on inside back title page). The matter is under consideration of the ONGC. Whereas the water of Saraswati River is a boon to the whole ofthe country particularly to the state of Haryana because of its purity like Gangajal, its pollution is a bane. A continuous stream of-water is always flowing in the Saraswati creek but the same is getting polluted at Bilaspur (Distt. Yamuna Nagar) and several other places down-stream. We are of the opinion that if the sewerage water is treated and put to irrigational use.instead of discharging the same in the Saraswati creek, it will be ^neficial to the farmers and the Saraswati Nadi water would jflow free from pollution. j In order to tackle this problem of water pollution, our patron Sh.' V.M.Kl Puri, Director (Retd.) GSI, visited the water treatment plant designed by Padambhushan Baba Seechewal Ji at Dasuya in Punjab and his report has been submitted to the Haryana State Gpyt. stating that : " the treated water from Maturation Pond no.5 is being used to irrigate nearly 700 acres of adjoining agricultural land. Thefarmers who use this treated waterfrom the Plant to irrigate their fields have reported that their requirement of artificial manure like urea has been completely obliterated whereby saving lot of money. Moreover, the production of crops like wheat and rice per acre has also nearly doubled. I have been further intimated that, the farmers have earned nearly more than Rupees seven crores per year in addition to ■ their normal earnings as per the last estimates. i I ' I • I After studying the functioning ofthe plant and taking into account the financial requirementfor running and maintenance of the plant, I am fully convinced that the Plant is very simple one to operate. The only energy required is electricityfor running the pumps to lift sewerage water to Oxidation Chamber. . Coming to the specific problem ofKurukshetra area, Jt is recommended that the above mentioned Plants, as - designed by Baba Ji, must be built to clean the effluents ofvillages and citiel It will generate twofold benefits. It will clean environment effectively and provide mineral rich treated waterfor irrigation purposes apartfrom maintaining the sanctity of Vedic Saraswati " 1 ' I The above stated facts unearthed from the historical and archaeological sites on the banks of Saraswati in Haryana such as Adi Badri, Bilaspur, Mustafabad (Saraswati Nagar) Balram Mandir, Radaur ( in Yamunanagar District), Bhagwanpura, Thanesar, Daulatpyr, Raja Karan Ka Tila, Bhor Sham, Pehowa (in Kurukshetra District), Kalayat, (Kaithal, District),, Kunal,'Banawali, Tohana (in> Fatehabad District), Rakhigarhi (In Jind District) on the banks of Drishadvati and ashrams of rishis (Markandey, Vashishtha, Viswamitra, Parashar, Yagnavalkaya) bear eloquent jevidehce to prove that once Saraswati used to flow here as a mighty river. All of these places besides having archaeological importance could also have great potential for religious and Vedic tourism in the state. On the outset of presenting this publication, I would like to express myi eternal gratitude to the contributors of articles in the present book Dr. J.R. Sharma, Dr. B.K.,' Bhadrai Dr. K.S.

111 SARASWATI- THE DISCOVERED COURSE OF EXTINCT MIGHTY RIVER USING SATELLITE DATA

J. R. Sharma and B. K. Bhadra Regional Remote Sensing Centre(West) I^RSC/ISRO, Dept. of Space(GOI), CAZRI Campus, Jodhpur-342003

ABSTRACT - The miilti temporal and multi resolution Satellite images have unearthed the hidden course of the ^Lost River Saraswati' below the sands of Thar Desert. Digital image processing techniques have been found to be useful to map the course of palaeo-channel netivork in NW India, The mapped course of the river is 4-10 km wide which is passing through Haiyana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat. Discovered palaeo-channels are validated through archaeological, hydrogeological and drilling data which conform to the magnanimity of the river as described in 'Rigveda' Co-existence of a large number early to post Harappan archaeological sites along the bank ofSaraswati River indicates ancient civilization and its cultural amalgamation in this region.

INTRODUCTION Mention about the Great Himalayan river of Vedic Period (10000-8000 BC) is found in ancient Indian literature. The river called as 'Saraswati' in India and 'Hakra' in Pakistan, was flowing with full majesty around 6000 BC and dried up during 3000 BC due to climatic and tectonic changes in Himalayan region. Due to these causes, river Saraswati which once flowed in true majesty dwindled to an ephemeral stream and finally got lost in the sand of Thar Desert. The relict of this lost river is still found as palaeo-channels in this region (See Figure on Front Cover Page). Large numbers of archaeological sites of Harappan civilization occur along the dry .river bed (see Bottom Figure on back page). River Saraswati has developed great fascination and unfailing interest in the minds of Geologists and Archaeologists of India. The lost character of this once mighty river is possibly one of the reasons why this river has generated such unflagging interest in the minds of the Scholars and Scientists. However, establishing the exact course of Vedic Saraswati and its perennial source remains a debatable topic among the researchers due to lack of proper scientific database. The mystery is unravelled through modem tools like Remote Sensing, image processing and GIS by using multi-spectral and multi-resolution satellite images.

ANCIENT LITERATURES ON VEDIC SARASWATI The River Saraswati is said to be the oldest and holiest of the holy rivers jn India. This river is described in most of the ancient literatures of India like Vedas, Brahmana Srautasutra, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Bhagvat Purana, Vamana Purana and Upnishads, etc. Saraswati is described in the Rigveda literature as the Ambitame, Naditame and Devitame that is best of mother, best of river and best of goddess. It is believed that the river Saraswati was a life line of the people of ancient India mostly in the Vedic and Puranic ages. The ashrams of many famous rishish (saints) like Vagyavalka, Dadhichi, Parasurama and Parasara located along the banks of the river Saraswati. Vedic Saraswati River is believed to be mightier than the existing Ganges River in the past which is corroborated by frequent mention of the name 'Saraswati'(75 times) as compared to river Ganges (only once) in Rigveda. It is therefore only the ancient mythological literature that serves as a primary source of information about the lost Saraswati River. ORIGIN OF VEDIC SARASWATI RIVER To be a vibrant mighty river, the Saraswati in Vedic Period must have been contributed by major river systems of the Himalaya. The Vedic Saraswati is believed to be originated from Bandarpunch glacier in Garhwal Himalayas with water flowing through Yamuna/Tons River (see bottom Figure inside of Front page). The northern plains of Haryana and Punjab are drained by three major independent river systems namely Yamuna, Sutlej and Ghaggar (Saraswati). Today the Vedic Saraswati River is represented by the Ghaggar River which flows on palaeo-channel of Vedic Saraswati,- located in the Haryana-Rajasthan States. Yamuna/Tons and Sutlej are perennial river systems while the Ghaggar is primarily ephemeral. The Sutlej River originates in the Himalayas from the holy Lake of Mansarovar in Tibet and flows towards northwest across the Himalayan ranges. Obscured signatures as palaeo-channels of Sutlej and Yamuna/Tons indicate towards feeder channels of Vedic Saraswati River in the past. REMOTE SENSING STUDIES BY ISRO The Saraswati project work is initiated by ISRO centres (RRSC-Jodhpur and SAC- Ahmedabad) way back in lp90s. However, RRSC- Jodhpur has done a pioneering work to research and delineate the entire course of river 'Saraswati' in NW India using multi-spectral, multi-temporal and multi-resolution satellite data (IRS WiFS, LISS-3 and.LISS-4). With the continuous effort for about a decade, the scientists got a breakthrough in 2000-2001 by discovering the Saraswati palaeo- channels below the sands of Thar Desert in parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The collaborative work with BARC, GWD (Govt. of Rajasthan), CGWB and many others could able to unearth the great potential of these palaeo-channels with static ground water reserve. The novel work continued till 2010 in delineation of Saraswati palaeo-channels in parts of Haryana and Punjab and effort is made to link Vedic Saraswati* with the perennial rivers of the Himalaya. GROUND VALIDATION AS SUPPORTIJ^G EVIDENCE Mapped courses of Saraswati River have been validated through data from a variety of ground investigations viz. historic maps, archaeological sites, drilling data and ground water parameters with age. Historical maps of Mughal,-Dutch and British authors during 14^^^ -17^^ Century A.D. shows the presence of a dry channel of Saraswati parallel to Indus River. It has been observed that major Harappan sites of Kalibangan (Rajasthan), Banawali and Rakhigarhi (Haryana), Dholavira and Lothal (Gujarat) lie along Saraswati River. Drilling of 14 tube wells by GWD (Govt. of Rajasthan) and CGWB in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan suggests that the palaeo-channels are comprised of fine to coarse grained sand at a depth of 55-85m. Similarly, 304 drilling sites in northern Haryana also show medium to coarse grained sands at a depth between 10 to 100m along the palaeo-channels. Analysis of ground water samples indicates potable water for most of the drilled tube wells, as compared to tube/dug wells away, from the channel. The isotopic ages (^H, '^0 and C^^) of 17 ground water samples in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan by BARC, Mumbai indicates the variation in ground water ages from 1340 to 18880 BP.

PRESENT STATUS OF SARASWATI PROJECT A consortium on 'Saraswati Project' is constituted by the well-wishers of NGO's, academicians, scientific and Govt. organizations like ISRO, ONGC, NGRI, CGWB, State Ground Water Departments from Govt. of Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The project planned for drilling 6 tube wells (3 in Haryana, 2 in Rajasthan and 1 in Gujarat) using the palaeo-channel maps, prepared by ■ ISRO. 2 THE RIVER SARASWATI WAS A HIMALAYAN-BORN RIVER

Prof. K. S. Valdiya Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bengaluru 560 064, India Honorary Professor e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Professor Valdiya is a distinguished scientist, academic author and an active environmentalist. He was awarded the Padmashri and the Plindi Sevi Sammaan (Atmaram Puraskaar) in 2007, the G.M Modi Awardfor Science and Environment in 2012 and Padma Bhiishan in 2015. He has written several books and research papers in leading journals of national and international repute. A firm believer of Saraswati River, he has written hooks SARASWATI: THE RIVER THAT DISAPPEARED (2002) and "EK THl NADI SARASWATI" in Hindi. He has also contributed an article in a previous version of "Saras^vati Darshan" titled "Latest Geological Works on the River Saraswati". A very interesting article "The River Saraswati was a Himalayan-born river" by Prof K.S. Valdiya was published in Current Science Vol. 104, No. 1, in 10 Januaiy 2013 issue. In this paper he has denied the postulation of Giosan et al. (2012) that the river Sarasyvati was only a monsoonal river and has providedfacts proving that the River Saraswati was a glacierfed Himalayan-born river. He has produced many evidence including archaeological, remote sensing and ground water surveys conducted by GSI, ISRO, CGWB, ONGC and other reputed government agencies. The last section from his paper is reproduced with due permission of Prof Valdiya. ' Editor

^ ^^ 4= ^^ ^ ^ Excerptfrom Prof. Valdiya Paper (full paper available at \v\inv.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/l04/0J/0042.pdj) ABSTRACT: Giosan and co-workers contend that the 'mythical' Saraswati River was not a glacier-fed Himalayan river. Questioning the findings ofIndian archaeologists and geologists, they postulate that the Saraswati was a monsoonal river originating in the foothills of the Siwalik Hills and did not water the heartland of the Harappan Civilization. Reduction in its discharges due to weakening of the monsoon rains resulted in it's diying up, leading to the demise of the Harappa Civilization. I hove put forth a number of evidence gathered in the last 10—15 years to show that their arguments are not acceptable and by giving eloquent examples have asserted that the climate is not the only cause of all changes occurring on the surface of the Earth, and that there are other factors, some more powerful, which bring about changes. Response to Giosan's paper If the 15-member team of Giosan et al, using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data with Digital Elevation Models to map the areas of study and the OSL and Pb-U dates of sediments of some of the many channels of the Saraswati, working as they did for 10 years, mostly in Pakistan, can speculate, why cannot the hundreds of Indian archaeologists and geologists; the latter specializing in structural geology, tectonics, sedimentology, geomorphology, geochronology, geophysics and remote sensing and drawn from such varied organizations as the Geological Survey of India, Oil and Natural Gas Commission, Central Ground Water Board, State Ground Water Boards, Space Applications Centres of the Indian Space Research Organization and- a number of universities who worked for more than 50 years throughout the domain of the Saraswati — in the plains, in the Siwalik, in the Lesser Himalaya and in the Great Himalaya, express their findings and views? ■ J Yes, our conclusioh (not theory) based on varied.lines of evidence has been challenged, but not seriously, by those who themselves admit that they speculate; ! . . _ Although .1 have attempted to address practically all points raised iby Giosan et al., I am sceptical .if they would' be impressed• by this presentation of evidence' collected by' Indiani workers mostly in the last 15 years. In an e-mail letter to Kalyanaraman,'forwarded to me on 12 June 2012, Giosan states that Ve studied quite a few materials over the 10 years of project but considered seriously only the papers and authors presenting reliable data andfacts'. In other words, most of the works of Indian workers - (archaeologists and geologists) who have worked in the Saraswati Basin are not worthy of being cited by them - are not reliable. I wonder what criteria they considered to test or adjudge the reliability of ^ evidence adduced by the Indians. ■ ' ■ ' ■ 'i With my limited knowledge and capability, I believe that on the ground a human eye can see far better "than the lens of even the most sophisticated camera mounted on satellite hundreds of kilometres high up in the sky. And there were hundreds of eyes looking closely aC every patch of the ground for ^ ' I I ' over 50 years, logging the events, walking long distances'all over the Saraswati domain, living among the rocks and sediments, digging the ground, analysing the samples and cores of drill holes, but certainly not making models, nor speculating. • • ' ' • ' ' Some people accuse us (Indians) of having a dogmatic approach in constructing a narration on the Saraswati prompted purely ^on emotional appeal*. It may be pointed out that the first geologists to write about it- in quite detail - in the Journal ofthe Royal Asiatic Society ofLondon and Journal ofthe Asiatic Society of Bengal were two British stalwarts of the,Geological Survey,of India (R.D. Oldham (1886) and G.F. Oldham (1893). Surely they would no^ have been swayed by emotion on the 'cultural evolution in northwest India'! But insistence of Giosan et al. on the belief that reduction of discharge in rivers resulting from diminished rainfall is the sole cause of incision and aggradation regardless of other factors playing roles is nothing short of building a myth. Investing an aura of infallibility around the pet model 'climate change brings about all changes on Earth's surface' - may 1 state with all humility - is a dogmatic approach to such complex problems as river piracy,-stream .behaviour, persistent actions of diist storms, exodus of people from one area to another, etc. . j ; - .

V.M. K.Puri Director (Retd.), Geological Survey of India 113, Kotwali Bazar, Dharamshala(HP) Ph: 01892-222140

INTRODUCTION Adi Badri (30" 27' N; 7?" 27' E) lies in the foothills of Siwalik Range, just south of its escarpment in bhabar area, in the district of Yamunanagar in the northern portion of Haryana. It is approachable from Jagadhri by a 40 km long all weather road via Bilaspur. The nearest village is Kathgarh, which is situated 2 km southwest from this locality. Adi Badri is known for its temples of Adi Badri Narayan, Kedamath and Mantra Devi. There is a mention in the scriptures that the great sage Ved Vyas composed Shrimad Bhagwat, comprising 18000 verses, which is the shining jewel among Puranas, here at this locality. It is on this basis that Ved Vyas is called 'Badarayana' also. Bhagwat is a composite treatise wherein the glory of three deities' viz. Vishnu, Shiva and Shakti has been sung. This is the reason that Adi Badri is recognized as the sacred 'teertha' or holy place for Vaishnavas, Adi Kedar for Shaivas and Mantra Devi temple site for austere penance by worshipers of Shri - Vidya. All these temples are situated close to one another in the picturesque landscape. It is mentioned in Shrimad Bhagwat that Ved Vyas composed this treatise in 'Shyamaprasa Ashram' or hermitage situated on the left bank of river Saraswati in northern region of 'India (Ved Vyas). The features and characteristics of Shyamaprasa Ashram geographically match.very well with that of Adi Badri. It is further corroborated on the presence of an ancient town of Vyaspur (Bilaspur) that is located nearby. STATUS OF ACTIVITIES Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is carrying out excavations in the area for assessing the heritage and antiquity. The ASI has identified three sites viz. ABR-I, ABR-II and ABR-III for exploration. ABR-I and ABR-II sites are located on the western side of Saraswati-Somb valley whereas ABR-III is situated on its eastern side. ABR-II site is located on a ridge, locally known as Itonwali that is situated almost 500 m north east of Kathgarh and geographically it is the highest excavation site which lies nearly 250 m above the present day river bed. It is ABR-II excavation site that has generated immense geological-interest. In two pits opened for study by ASI, very interesting section has been exposed. Detailed observation reveals that this ridge constitutes the basal part of T3 terrace, which is the oldest terrace in outer Himalaya during Holocene period. In this section, sub rounded pebbles are exposed that are aligned almost parallel to the valley configuration which clearly indicate the impact of alluvial action. SIGNATURE OF VEDIC SARASWATI On closer scrutiny, the exposed pebbles on this T3 terrace contain elements, as expected, having provenance or parentage of Siwalik rocks. On further analyses of these pebbles exposed in pits of ABR- II site, it was startling to discover also pebbles of high grade metamorphic rocks like mica schist, quartzite and metabasits apart from majority of pebbles of Siwalik rocks. It is a well-known geological knowledge that these high grade metamorphic rocks are not found in the Siwalik Hills right from Kashmir Himalaya in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern part of Himalayan extremity. Therefore, the occurrence of pebbles of high grade metamorphic rocks in T3 terrace of ABR-II site m 5 Adi Badri area constitutes 'alien' parentage or provenance. A scrutiny of lithology of-these 'alien' Vj^ebbles indicates that these high grade metamorphic roclcs belong to Central Crystalline and Jutogh group of rocks that are found scores of kilometers away jowards north and north east in the Central Himalaya. Moreover, the aforesaid locality is situated very near to Sudanwala' T3 terrace (Puri, 1999) towards north east that lies over Siwalik Hills and possess pebbles of similar lithology wherein the ratio of high grade metamorphic rock pebbles is extremely high. ; , . The above referred discovery is an additional irrefutable scientific evidence of the existence of an ancient drainage that was capable of bringing pebbles of high grade metamorphic rocks. Any drainage originating from Siwalik Hills cannot transport pebbles of high gradelmetamorphic rocks and deposit on its own terraces since these rocks do not exist in Siwalik Hills as mentioned earlier. ■ Therefore, an ancient river that possessed its catchment area encompassing rocks of Central Crystalline and Jutogh Group brought down these pebbles. That river is none else, than Vedic Saraswati that had traversed through this site, transported pebbles from its catchment area, enclosing high grade metamorphic rocks, lying scores of kilometers away in Centra! Himalaya and deposited it on the present day oldest terrace in ABR-11 excavation site of Adi Badri area (Puri, Op.bit.) . It is interesting to record that pebbles of younger generation viz; T2 arid Ti terraces on which excavation sites of ABR-I and III are locate, contain rocks restricted to Siwalik|super Group only. This observation clearly indicates that these-younger terraces were deposited by Vedic Saraswati also but its conduit from the original catchment area in Central Himalaya had been blocked by tectonic activity (Puri Op.Cit.) that had got restricted subsequently to Siwalik Hills only. CONCLUSION The above scientific find, first of its kind from Adi Badri area, is an exclusive scientific proof to establish that this terrace of Itonwali,ridge-was deposited by Vedic Saraswati that was entering Indo- Gangatic plain from Himalaya at this locality. Accordingly, it can safely' be surmised that this locality or Adi Badri was'Haridwar'of Vedic Saraswati.

INTRODUCTION Natural heritage is the legacy of natural features and associated intangible attributes encompassing a region. Saraswati River and the Hindu scriptures, the Vedas, comprise one of the finest examples of natural living heritage which isMnherited from the past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations. Saraswati, the Hindu Goddess of learning and knowledge, is said to have personified itself in the form of a major river system that existed in Vedic times in the Indian subcontinent. This mega river system had its origin in the glaciated Himalayas and it drained the northwestern part of the sub-continent before merging into the Arabian Sea. The mighty river was the harbinger of life and along its course prospered many agrarian civilizations and subsequent mercantile societies like the Harappan, which utilized its wide navigable channels for trade and inland communication. The epic Mahabharatha has a description of the desiccating Saraswati River. The Holy Bhagwat Gita is supposed to have been compiled on the banks of Saraswati'River by Sage Ved Vyasa near Kurukshetra. Near Kurukshetra is the town of Pehowa which derives its name from King Prithu who as per the Rigveda offered water to visitors for 12 days on the banks of the Saraswati River after performing funeral ceremonies of his father. It is an ancient place of pilgrimage. It is believed that Prajapati created the world and the four varanas of the Hindus at this place. The town contains two historically famous tanks, one sacred to god Brahma and the-other to the goddess Saraswati. The mythological Saraswati River has attracted the. attention of geologists, historians, "^Archaeologists and religious organizations for varied reasons. The author feels that if the existence of this mythological river can be justified by geological evidences, in conjunction with epic and archaeological information, then the drainage basin of this river along with its mythological monuments and ghats can become one of the major hubs of tourism in modem India. This paper encompasses the existing and newly.generated geological informatioji which substantiates the existence of a mighty Himalayan river system in the north-western Indian alluvial plains with focus on Haryana. On the basis of satellite images confirming the presence of palaeo-channels and ground based site specific sedimentologica! investigations carried out by author, three significant signatures of the presence of palaeo-channels have been identified along the Vedic tract of the erstwhile Saraswati River (Fig. 1). The textural and dense mineral analyses of the sediments coming out with water have been carried out to ascertain their major source terrains and depositional environments (Chaudhri, 2008).

SITEl: KAPIL MUNI TEMPLE SAROVAR The hermitage sites of ancient rishis and ascetics are usually situated close to some perennial source of water. Kalayat is one of the pilgrimage spots in traditional 48 kos Kurukshetra Bhumi and is dedicated to Saint Kapila, the author of Hindu Sankhya philosophy. The town is located on a mound which rises 10 m above the general ground elevation in the region and appears to be relocated over a buried settlement. A few kilometres from Kalayat, lies the early Indus Valley Civilisation (or Saraswati River Civilization) site Balu. A major tributary of the Saraswati River, the Apaya or Apaga (Chitang) river "flowed near Balu. It is believed that the Saraswati River used to flow through Kalayat, district Jind, Haryana (Chaudhri, 2007b). The Kapil Muni (6050 BC) Temple located at Kalayat is in a brackish water zone where no natural surface flow of water is discernible. The temple is a potential religious tourist spot with its heritage location and architecture. In the vicinity of the temple is an old sarovar which is ritually cleaned and filled by local religious organisations. In December 2005 water started oozing out into the tank. The water was clear, odourless and sweet to taste and had a lower TDS content in comparison to the local municipal supply water (Chaudhri, 2006). The presence of natural^ flow of sweet water created a stir in the water starved regioil (Chaudhri, 2007c). The gush of water, which was initially like an artesian flow, subsided after about a fortnight but the water still continues to flow. The sediments coming out with oozing water were collected in a sieve for textural and heavy mineral investigations. Megscopically, the sediments are grey in colour and contain high percentage of muscovite flakes with golden ferruginous coating making them appear significantly different from the surrounding sediments. Textural studies reveal that the sediments are fine grained. Majority of the grains are angular to sub-angular in outline although a few sub-rounded and rounded grains are also present. The sediments coming out with wafer show a moderately well sorted nature. The heavy mineral suite recovered from the Kapil Muni Temple Sarovar comprises tourmaline, hornblende, kyanite, staurolite, epidote, zoisite, garnet, biotite, chlorite, corundum, rutile, titanite and- brookite. The heavy mineral assemblage of the Siwalik Group has been investigated by Chaudhri (1972, 1975, 1984, and 1991). The dense mineral suite comprises zircon, tourmaline, rutile, epidote, garnet, chlorite, biotite, staurolite, kyanite, sillimanite and rare to very rare andalusite, enstatite and hornblende. The opaque minerals include ilmenite, magnetite, hematite and limonite (Chaudhri, 2000). The heavy mineral suite of Kapil Muni Sarovar thus contains corundum, brookite and titanite in addition to the heavy minerals from the Siwalik Group of northwestern India. The dense mineral assemblage comprising garnet, hornblende, kyanite, staurolite, epidote, zoisite and biotite is indicative of derivation of the sediments from high grade metamorphic rocks. Rutile and brookite might have been derived from basic igneous rocks while titanite and part of hornblende appear to have been contributed by acid igneous rocks. Titanite is frequently associated with ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphism (more than 6 GPa) in subduction zone plate setting in high-pressure granulite- facies terranes (Ye, 2002; Chopin, 2003) now exposed in the Indus-Tsangpo Suture zone. Honneger et al. (1989) reported blueschists along the Indus Suture Zone. Parrish et ah (2006) evidenced peak UHP metamorphism along the northern margin of the Indian plate at 46.4 ± 0.1 Ma and retrogressive growth of titanite between 46.4'and 44 Ma. In northwestern Himalaya, corundum has been reported from early Palaeozoic, Pan-African (500 ± 50 Ma) granites that intruded the Chail, Salkhala, Haimanta Formations. Garzantiet al.(2007) recorded a similar heavy mineral assemblage from Higher Himalayan source rocks in Marpandi River, Nepal. ■The heavy mineral assemblage of the sediments coming out with water, thus, reveals that the sediments were derived from high grade crystalline rocks exposed in the Higher Himalaya. Since the water channel that brought these sediments must have crossed through the Siwalik sediments, mixing of sediments from the Higher Himalayas and the Lesser Himalayas is inevitable. Further, majority of the 9 f sediments have angular to sub-angular outlines whiph may partly be attributed to their habit and "V^mineraiogy. The dominant mechanism of fluvial transport of dense, minerals having specific gravity more than 2.89 in water is by traction and rolling on the river bed. This process ensures maximum rounding of the grains consequent to the breaking up of their corners on account of friction and attrition in the first hundred kilometres of its fluvial transport. Rounding of the grains is more for the coarser fraction than that for the finer grades. Angular kyanite is characteristic of high current velocity depositional environment. The presence of a high percentage of angular fragments at Kalayat, about 280 km away (crow flight distance) from their perceived source rocks in Higher Himalayas, is anomalous in normal fluvial dynamics. This feature requires that the high density mineral grains are carried as suspension in the river for the major part of'their travel from the point of entrainment in the flow in the Higher Himalaya to the point of their deposition at Kalayat in Haryana. This in turn would require the presence of highly agitated water. Agitation in water is related to the morphology of the river channel and quantity of water in it. Considering the dynamics of tke present case, it appears that the water channel that carried these sediments was a massive river, with very high volume of agitated water. These characteristics of the river, incidentally and interestingly match very well with the Vedic description of the Saraswati River,' a river that roared as it carried peaks of mountain as flowers in its flow' (Chaudhri, 2008 b). Further, the strategic location of the site, near the 6"^ Century BC heritage hermitage site of Kapil Muni whose ashrams were on the banks of Saraswati, riyer, further strengthens the possibility of the presence of Saraswati River palaeo-channel near Kalayat.

SITE 2: CHYAVAN GIRI KUND

In August, 2007 water started coming out of Chayavan Giri Kimd, a hermitage of Chayavan Rishi in Kalayat. The 6*^ century B.C. brick temple near the kund is a' protected archaeological monument and is a very good peaceful place for tourists. The water reservoir and the well maintained grassy lawns around this Saraswati river natural heritage remnant can serve as good picnic spot. The water which was pouring out at 4 locations in the kund was again sweet to taste. The rate of flow of water was around >25 litres per minute (Chaudhri, ,2007d). The local population of the town was extremely enthusiastic about the natural flow of sweet water in the pond which once upon a time was filled with Saraswati River water when Chyavan Rishi used to inhabit the region. Daily congregation of religious minded people at the site became a routine affair and regular aarti of Saraswati River was performed at site. People took bucket(s) full of sweet water to their houses for religious activities. The water was clear, non-turbid, odourless and very little sand was coming out with it. The phenomenon of water oozing out of Chyavan Giri Kund is interesting considering the general groundwater scenario in the region. The region falls in brackish water zone and potable water having acceptable taste is not available to the people of the region even up to a depth of 400 m. Beyond this level, the quality of water improves but still it does not reach the leve(^of sweetness of the Chyavan Giri kund water. Further, this phenomenon took place in August, 2007 and incidentally there was no rainfall for the past one month in the region. This situation suggested the possibility that the aquifer which was yielding water was getting

10 recharged in the upstream recharge zone as significant rainfall was occurring in the Himalayan foothill region which forms the major recharge zone of aquifers in the alluvial plains. The sediments coming out with water were collected on -80 mesh ASTM sieve. Megascopically, the sediments are grey in colour and are visibly fine grained in comparison to the sediments from the Kapil Muni temple sarovar. The sand has moderate proportion of muscovite flakes. The golden coloured flakes are conspicuous by their absence. Textural studies of the sediments reveal their fine sand size and moderately well sorted nature. The sand sized fraction was cleaned and heavy liquid separation technique was utilized for separating the dense minerals. The transparent heavy mineral suite recovered from the water coming out of the Chyavan Giri Kund comprises tourmaline, hornblende, kyanite, staurolite, epidote, zoisite, garnet, biotite,. chlorite, corundum, rutile and titanite. This heavy mineral assemblage suggests that the sediments have been derived from very high pressure plate tectonic setting. The river channel that deposited these sediments was trans-Himalayan in character. The perennial river probably originated from glacial melt water in the trans-Himalayan region and during its flow across the suture zone it eroded the high pressure minerals along with the other high grade Higher Himalayan minerals mentioned above.

SITE 3: BHOR SAYIDAN About 13 kilometres West of Kurukshetra (Thanesar) towards Pehowa lies the Bhor Sayidan village which is situated on an ancient mound and is* an archaeological site dating prior to 1375 BC. Folklore associates the place with treacherous murder of Bhurirava, son of Somadatta, Raja of Varanasi by Arjuna during the Mahabharata war. The village is named Bhor after him. The houses are built of old large size bricks having a size of 12 3/4" x 9 1/2 "x 2". A buried river bed has been discovered in the village. The estimated width of this palaeo-Hver is more than 2 km. The left bank of the erstwhile river is covered by 9 m thick layer of intercalated light chocolate brown sandy clays and mud. Twelve beds have been identified in the succession. The textural analysis of the sediments was carried,out by sieve analysis. Sieving was carried put at quarter phi interval. The results indicate presence of fine to very fine grained, poly-modal, moderately- to poorly sorted sedirhent-population. The sediment characteristics are typical for lo\v energy river bank and levee deposits. Shape "of the grains was ""determined by visual estimation technique. Majority of the grains exhibit sub-angular to sub-rounded outlines while significant percentage of angular grains have also been recorded. The non-opaque heavies from Bhor Sayidan comprise garnet, epidote, hornblende, kyanite, sillinionite, tourmaline, chlorite, cassiterite, biotite and muscovite. These high grade metamorphic minerals were probably eroded from the higher Himalayas by the rivers and streams draining the region.

11 These fluvial sediments reflect the terminal waning phase of the erstwhile 2 km wide river in the ^/ vicinity of'■ Bhor Sayidan as there is a distinct break in the lithologic succession with mud beds dominating over sand beds in the upper 5 m log. At a depth of 5 m from the surface, sand layers start dominating over the mud layers and gradually sand beds become dominant. Mud layers are reduced to thin intercalations and lenses. It appears that during the terminal phase there was gradual desiccation of the river and the channel was subsequently periodically filled by muddy rainwater that might have_ traveled in the channel upon its conversion to a seasonal stream from an erstwhile mega-river. In the present day scenario, 2 km wide river beds are nowhere seen in the region except the remotely sensed inferred palaeo-channels in Rajasthan and Rann sector of Gujarat. The more than 2 km wide flood plain of the palaeo-river; the higher, Himalayan mineralogical characteristics of its dense mineral suite and their angular nature; and its Vedic location contribute in suggesting that the palaeo-channel might be of a major palaeo-river, probably, the Saraswati River.

MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Investigations carried out at Kalayat in Haryana confirm the presence of a mighty palaeo-river which brought sediments from the Higher Himalayan peaks. In the Indian context, there are three major antecedent rivers existing in the present day scenario. These are the Indus, the Satluj and the ' Brahamputra. All of these rivers have their origin in the vicinity of Mt. Kailash indicating thereby that this part of the Himalayan terrain was at a higher elevation than the rest of the intervening Himalaya since the time of India — Eurasia collision in the Miocene. These rivers, along with some other significant channels might have started flowing southwards after the melting of glaciers. A buried river bed about 2 km in width, near the Vedic location of the mythical Saraswati river is a very significant evidence which supports the probable presence of erstwhile Saraswati river channel near Kurukshetra. The present ground investigations along with remote sensing studies carried out by the author suggest that a major river system existed in the north-western Ghaggar plains of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. Satluj River probably joined this river system in the Himalayan terrain along with the Ashni and Giri Rivers. The Yamuna, the Tons and the Bafa River probably flowed through the Markanda River and joined the Ghaggar River system. All these rivers, together, probably constituted the erstwhile palaeo-mega river which has been termed in the Vedas as the Saraswati River. Saraswati River drainage basin along with the numerous present day religious structures, bathing ghats, traditions, epics, Vedic treatises, folklore and archaeological structures represents one of the finest examples of a living natural heritage. This scientifically justified heritage has an enormous tourism potential and can become the most visited Hindu tourist circuit.

12 ONGC PROJECT ON SARASWATI RIVER

M.R. Rao ED - CKO (Retd.), ONGC Principal Coach, SWIS (Success With Self) Email: [email protected] website: mrajagopaIarao.net

INTRODUCTION . Under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ONGC has embarked upon a Project entitled "ONGC Project Saraswati" as an initiative to contribute to the welfare of the people in.drought prone . areas of the country. The project targeting the drought prone areas of the country has been ' symbolically named after the famous mythical river Saraswati. Saraswati which is believed to have made Thar one of the greenest areas of the country was lost in the sands with the initiation of desertification in North western India.

OBJECTIVE

The project envisages Possibility of finding existence of deeper aquifers in Rajasthan or elsewhere in India, akin to conditions obtained in great man made River Project of Libya.

• Identification of deeper aquifers not exploited by other agencies. Accordingly a study has been initiated in Western Rajasthan, covering 13 districts under an MOU signed with Water & Power Consultancy Services (India) Ltd. (WAPCOS), to identify and delineate broad areas for deeper ground water exploration.

GREAT MANMADE RIVER PROJECT (OMR),LIBYA: For centuries the vast deserts of southern Libya formed a barrier crossed only by caravan trade routes, which followed established tracks from oasis to oasis. From 1953, these vast and largely unknown areas were progressively investigated in the search for new oilfields. This- led not only to the discovery of large oil reservoirs but also great quantities of fresh water.' Four major underground basins have been located during exploratory drilling for oil in Libya containing fresh water at depth from 600 to over 2500m, which led to a.gigantic irrigation project, known as the "Great Man-Made River"(GMR). Libya's Great Man-Made River Project is a great service to the water starved people in the deserts, not only of Libya, but alsoaray of hope for other parts of the world.

RECENT LEADS

Discovery of deep, seated relatively fresh ground water under 'Artesian conditions' has been reported in Thar desert; across the border in Pakistan (close to Munnabao- Khokrapar rail line), in village Jumman Samoo, about 75 km east of Umerkot city. A 12-inch bore drilled up to depth of 1224 Nyfeet encountered deep layer of the aquifer ranging from 1000ft to 1200ft. The aquifer layers were found under artesian condition. The groundwater was flowing above ground surface up to 20 ft (see bottom left Figure inside of back cover page). The well flowed at 200 gallons per minute at 24 hour (Artesian Flow), making water available without operational costs, which is like a dream in Desert. "The results obtained for artesian conditions of deep-seated water at 1200 feet depth will be harbinger for further exploration of such wells in Thar," claimed the Internet Edition of Dawn dated, 25th July, 2005. In an old well (Lunar-2) drilled in Lunar area of Jaisalmer district by ONGC for oil exploration, fresh water indication on log (about 4 grams per liter (gpl)) has been interpreted in Lathi Formation of Jurassic age at depths below 1600 m. Number of zones from 200 to> about 1400m has been interpreted as water bearing on log with log derived salinity varying from 1.9 to 5gpl in well MJAA, an exploratory well drilled recently at Myajlar byONGC. In north western Rajasthan following activities have been completed under the consultancy project with WAPCOS. Preliminary study based on existing data has identified 6 prioritized districts (Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Barmer, Ganganagar, Nagaur and Hanumangarh) for detailed investigation. Technical Feasibility study has identified three pilot areas (Jaisalmer, Barmer and Bikaner districts) and electrical resistivity survey has been completed in pilot areas for pinpointing locations for drilling. A well Saraswati-1 was drilled.at a location 6 km. away from Jaisalmer town up to a depth of 554 m, probably deepest water well in the country. Relatively fresh water in a zone of a confined aquifer from 450-530m in Lathi Formation (Jurassic age) was identified. The well was completed up to 499 m and flowed @ 76,000 Liters/hr during pumping test (see bottom right Figure inside of back cover page). Though the initial onsite test indicated TDS value of 5500 mg/L the water samples laken- subsequently showed progressive improvement from 3700 mg/L to 3540 mg/L to 3050 mg/L.

* j INTRODUCTION The Geophysical Survey at Adi Badri Bagh Village Kath Garh District Yamuna Nagar (Haryana) was conducted on 5/10/2012 with the help of IGIS Resistivity meter capable of scanning the subsurface for desired geo-electricaMayer parameters. Surface Geophysical Investigation is the scientific technique to assess the probabilities for the feasibility of tubewell construction work before drilling a borehole. Surface Geophysical -Investigation has certain limitations regarding the accuracy of the interpreted field data because of several factors e.g. unfavourable field conditions like topography, hindrances on the path of electrode configuration etc. Therefore variation may encounter during drilling operation. The report incorporates the findings of the geophysical survey.

LOCATION The site iS'located near existing Dug Well at Adi Badri Bagh Village Kath Garh District Yamuna Nagar (Haryana). HYDROGEOLOGY ' , Hydrogeologically, both the unconsolidated alluvial formation in the area and semi consolidated ■ sediments forms the main aquifer system. Porous alluvial formation forrns the most prolific aquifer system in the valley area whereas the sedimentary semi consolidated formation form aquifer of low yield prospect. Lithologically the area predominantly comprises of alternating clays and granular formation with a cover of overburden. Groundwater in the area occurs both under-water table and confined conditions.

METHODOLOGY . The most common method i.e. electrical resistivity method with Schlumberger configuration of electrode array was used for the surveys with IGIS make resistivity meter. The objective was achieved to some extent but with limitation of undulating terrain. As far as electrical resistivity response is concerned, the transport path of groundwater as well as electrical current thrpugh the pores in sediments or fractures in the hard rocks at depth being the same, it is expected that groundwater bearing zones at the saturated fractures should get detected from electrical resistivity or conductivity variations, but it is always so simple. The electrical resistivity technique responds adequately in areas with moderately resistive over burden and for thick water bearing sediments/fracture zones occurring within the subsurface. ■ 15 ■ In. resistivity methods known amount of electrical current is sent into ground through a pair of electrodes and developed potential due to resistance offered by the ground to the passage of electric current is measured across another pair of electrodes. Multiplication of ration between the potential and current with geometric factor gives the apparent resistivity of ground to a depth which depends on the electrodes separation. In practice this is accomplished by introducing a known quantity of electric current into the ground with two current electrodes and by measuring potential difference by another pair of potential electrodes. The ratio V/I is multiplied by geometric factor K (which depends on the electrode spacing) to obtain apparent resistivity. The apparent resistivity is plotted against half electrode spacing to obtain VES curves. These curves are interpreted manually or using computer soft-wares to obtain geo-electrical layers with their true resistivity values and thickness. These geo-electrical layers may or may not coincide with geological layers of different age or different lithological composition. The electrical resistivity of a geological formation varies widely (from one ohm-m. to thousands of ohm-m.) and depends on many factors; prominently among these are mineral content, moisture content, salinity, . structure and texture.

SCHLUMBERGER VERTICAL ELECTRICAL SOUNDING The aim of sounding at a site is to investigate the electrical character of various litho units occurring at different depths below the particular observation point or target site to be tested. Amongst various electrodes configurations used in conducting such surveys, the most popular one is Schlumberger soundings. . Various types of VES curves are obtained through plotting of apparent resistivity data recorded during the surveys. Three or multilayer types VES curves or their combinations are obtained. The curve types are A Type, K Type, H Type and Q Type.

INTERPRETATION OF SOUNDING CURVES The interpretation of VES curves uses the process of matching the field curves with theoretical curves (master curves) of known parameters. Both the field and master curves should be of same module; A good or perfect matching indicate that the layer parameters for the field curves would be the same as indicated in the theoretical curves, this is known as the 'curve matching technique'. Two-Three and Four layer master curves are available (Orallana and Mooney, 1969). The field curves may be matched with the theoretical curve fully or partially depending on the shape/type of the field curve and the number of theoretical curve available for various combinations of layer parameters. The interpreted results provide respective thickness of different earth layers with different characteristics and hydro -geological contrasts and on the basis of these results suitable sites can be selected together - with required inputs to design the desired structure for artificial recharge to ground water. For example dry sand, sands saturated with water and clays have distinguishable contrasts in their resistivity values which have slight impact of nature of top soil, grain size and quality of ground water. The competence in the field of ground water geophysics facilities improvising quality of interpretation which helps proper planning of desired structure and selection of suitable best site for artificial recharge to ground water. The concrete decision and targeted approach saves time as well as money.

16 RESISTIVITY SURVEY One Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Sounding was conducted with maximum available currentV- electrode spread (AB)to scan the pinpointed site on 05/10/2012.

DATAINTERPRETATION The .result of VES data in corroboration with local hydrogeology shows different geo-electrical layers in the subsurface. The VES data was interpreted with the help of computer software IPI2 as well as master curves (Orallana and Mooney) using curve matching method. In general three main geo- electrical layers we're obtained with their respective interpreted resistivities and thickness. The results of interpretation have been presented through following table. In general 4-5 intermittent geo-electrical layers were obtained with their respective interpreted resistivities and thickness. The results of interpretation have been presented through following table.

Layers Depth Thickness Interpreted Inferences with respect to Range(m) (m) Resistivity geology (Ohm-m)

Top layer G.L.- 2.8m 2.8m 236 Top soil, overburden @ finer elastics sediments

Second 2.8m to 33.8m 180.5 Finer sediments mixed layer 31m -with coarser material

Third layer 31 m to 76.2m 86.5 Coarser material and finer 42.4m elastics sediments with layers of aquifers

Fourth 42.4m to 231.2m - 128 Finer elastics sediments layer 155m and granular zones ^

Bottom Below 147.4 - Mostly Jiner sediments layer 155m\

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. From the inferences drawn on the basis of surface geophysical studies and analysis of apparent resistivity data it appears that tubewell may be feasible at pin pointed site. Tubewell may be constructed down to about 231 m below ground level to get maximum possible and available amount of ground water. 2. The borehole should be logged with electric logger to precisely decipher and include all the different water bearing granular zones and the well assembly^should be designed strictly on the basis of bore hole logging to get best possible and available quantity of clean ground water.

3. Tentative discharge of the tubewell may be upto six hundred-Ipm approximately. ■a

INTRODUCTION

According to published literature, one of the most quoted rivers of northern India, Saraswati, disappeared between 5000 BC to 3000 BC due to tectonic events in the, Himalayas, that cut off the water supply and the climatic changes that converted what was once a lush green Rajasthan into an arid zone. Past attempts to accurately trace the lost river and reconstruct its drainage system did not succeed.

Now most people in India think of it as a mythical river. Some even believe that it is an invisible river or that it still flows underground. Another commonly held perception is that the Saraswati once flowed through the north Indian city of Allahabad, meeting there with two other rivers, the Ganges and the Yamuna. The confluence of these three rivers - one of which is not visible to the eye - is considered one of India's holiest spots.

SATELLITE DATA IN PALAEO-CHANNELS MAPPING

Very feeble impressions of the old river courses are^ available through,the satellite imageries-dn the alluvial plains of Haryana as the same have been camouflaged by the thick alluvium deposits and intensive cultivation and manipulation of the soil for a long time. But analysis and interpretation of satellite imageries acquired during the flooding period in 1993 and 1995 h^e provided interesting patterns and features in Haryana plains (See Figure inside of Back cover page). The water flowed through the lowest elevations during the flooding, recharging and recreating old channels.through the plains. Thus a number of palaeo-channels, which were not observed in normal-imagery, were clearly discernible on the satellite imagery of this period. Existence of large number of palaeo-channels in the area supports the belief of the mighty river Saraswati flowing through the area. These small channels might be the tributaries of the mighty river, or may indicate migration of the river from east to west, as suggested by some researchers. V.' The delineated palaeo-channels show the general slope towards the northwestern direction. Three major palaep-channels merge; at Hisar town, from which it is inferred that after Hisar the riVer flowed towards Balsamand, Bhadra, Rawatsar and buried under.the blown sand migrated from Thar Desert. The' archaeological sites like Rakhi Garhi, Chanat, Kharar, Kirtan Pali, Rajpura, Hansi, Kunal, Masaudpur and pilgrimages places sites like Adi Badri, Kapalmochan, Mustafabad, Kurukshetra, Pehowa, Kalayat are located on or near these palaeochanneis which also supports their past flowing possibly perennial rivers. In the study area, 32 lineaments have been delineated to study the linkages between the structural disturbances and disappearance of the palaeochanneis. The direction of 13 lineaments is trending NW- SE which indicates the probability of faulting in the region. The three major palaeochanneis erupts at Kalayat and ends at Hisar have the same direction i.e. N\V-SE. Therefore, there could be linkages between structural disturbances and the disappearance of old rivers. However, for correlating these palaeochanneis with the Vedic Saraswati River, there is need of an interdisciplinary study based upon geophysical surveys, satellite data and historical evidences. But, it is true that there was a major river system originated from Himalayas and flowed towards north-western direction through Haryana, Rajasthan and Pakistan which has become extinct.

SARASWATI PALAEOCUANNELS FOR FLOOD MANAGEMENT

Saraswati Paleao-channels are the natural drainages which can be exploited for flood ■ management purposes. Since palaeo-channels are composed of deposits of porous material, they have a high recharging potential. Thus these palaeo-channels act as the natural underground water storage houses which can accommodate huge volume of water during flooding. Therefore, palaeo-channels are very good sites for recharging ground water during monsoon/ flooding season. During monsoon season there are no takers of water and our canal acts as drains during the period. This water could be used to recharge the palaeo-channels during rainy season. This stored water can subsequently be used for irrigation/ drinking during the lean season. Secondly, as these palaeo-channels pass through the lowest elevation, these could be effectively exploited for planning the proper alignment and networking of flood drains to manage the floods. This may help properly tackling flooding problem in the state. These palaeo-channels can also be used for identification of proper sites for construction of check dams, studs, embankments and other type of structures for controlling floods.

19 SARASWATI VALLEY: THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL TOURISM IN HARYANA Rajendra Singh Rana Curator, Srikrishna Museum, Kuruksehtra Saraswati, the most important river of Vedic times has cherished the great civilization of India. This mighty river system that originated somewhere in the Himalayas.entered plains and flowed in south westerly direction through present day Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat prior to joining the .Arabian Sea. In Rigveda it is mentioned as supreme amongst all other rivers. Recent archaeological excavations, satellite imageries, geological and geomorphological data as well as Central Ground Water ^ Commission reports have significantly thrown light on the Vedic Saraswati. There are ample of evidences to establish the fact that the river had flown in certain geographical areas, as revealed by the - geological, and satellite records and further substantiated by recent archaeological findings. There are many archaeological sites of historical and cultural importance all along the banks of river Saraswati and Drishadvati right from Adi Badri in the Siwaliks to Bhatner desert and further joining at the confluence on the Indian Ocean in Gujarat. The excavation at Bhirdana in district Fatehabad has revealed the antiquity of the civilization, which dates back to 4500 BCE. Kunal, an another important Harappan site in the same district has yielded pit dwelling settlement, pottery resembling that of the Baluchistan region, bead manufacturing centre, two crowns of Harappan period and many more. Banawali, a Harappan site on the bank of Saraswati in the same district has unearthed antiquities pertaining to the early Indus and matured Indus civilization which includes antiquities of typical Harappan settlement of grid pattern, wells, terracotta plough, micro weights and many more. Balu (Kaithal), a Harappan site on the bank of river Apaya or Apaga, a tributary of Saraswati has also yielded the potteries and other antiquities of pre Harappan and Harappan times. Bhagwanpura (Kurukshetra) is a unique site showing the interlocking phase of late, Harappan and Painted Grey Ware ' culture which is identified as the culture of Mahabharata period on the right bank of river Saraswati. Daulatpur (Kurukshetra) is a site yielding the antiquity from late Harappan to Medieval period. This site is located on river Drishadvati, the major tributary of Saraswati. Another important Harappan site located on the same river is Rakhigarhi in district Hisar. Rakhigarhi is one of the five known biggest townships i.e. Harappa, Mohenjodaro, Ganveriwala (Pakistan) and Dholavira (India) of Harappan civilization on Indian sub-continent. Here five interconnected mounds are spread in a huge area. The site has been excavated by Archaeological Survey of India. If properly preserved this site, it can be developed into a World Cultural Heritage Site as at present in Haryana'no archaeological site or monument has been included into this category. Out of more than hundred archaeological sites belonging to pre Harappan period, more than fifty sites of mature Harappan period and about three hundred sites of late Harappan period most of the archaeological sites are located on the basin of river Saraswati and its tributaries. Other than the above-mentioned archaeological sites, many pilgrimages are lying on the bank of river Saraswati and its tributaries from Adi Badri to Sirsa. Kurukshetra revered all over India for its sanctity and rich cultural heritage is vast region which according to the epic Mahabharata is a land saiidwiched between river Saraswati and Drishadvati which at present encompasses five districts of present day Haraya. The pilgrimages located on the bank of sacred Saraswati and its tributaries find mention in Mahabharata and Many Puranas. Local tradition recalls of 360 pilgrimages of the region out of which some of the pilgrimages have been lost in the oblivion. The tirthas at Kurukshetra and Pehowa are still visited by thousands of pilgrims every year. Saraswati tirtha at Pehowa is considered second to Gaya (Bihar), which is attained by the pilgrims from Punjab and northwestern India. Visit to the 20 pilgrimages of Kurukshetra located on Saraswati since time immemorial had contributed in declaring Kurukshetra one of the most ancient seats of pilgrimage in the world. For this reason Kurukshetra haV been rightly called as the 'tirtha par excellence' in Mahabharata. The glory of the land had even migrated to the south East Asian countries like Laos and Cambodia. The inscription found at Laos of the 5 century AD eulogies Kurukshetra. Influenced by the sanctity of Kurukshetra Devanika, the King of Laos established a new Kurukshetra at Laos for his own subjects. Subsequently new Kurukshetra were established in many South East Asian countries. Taking into conslderationvthe development of cultural tourism in Saraswati valley in Haryana recently the course of river Saraswati has been dug up by the Irrigation Department of Haryana in district Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra. Many important pilgrimages starting from Adi Badri to Pehowa he on the bank of river Saraswati. Out of these pilgrimages Adi Badri in district Yamuna Nagar IS the place where river Saraswati emerges into the plains is of great significance not merely for its religious sanctity rather known for its extraordinary archaeological findings. According to the Bhagawat Puran it was the place where Veda Vyasa conceived the Bhagawat Purana on the bank of river Saraswati. Recently a Buddhist site has been excavated by Archaeological Survey of India at Adi Badri which needs to be preserved properly. This site can be of a great tourist invest to the Buddhist pilgrims if propbr marketing of the site is done by linking it with other monuments and sites of Buddhist interest in the state. The township of Sugh was visited by Lord Buddha during his visit to the Kurudesha The stupa of Chaneti, the ancient site of Topra, stupa at Assandh and Thanesar can be included in making a package tour for the Buddhist pilgrims. Herbal garden, a mini zoo and a water reservoir can be created at Adibadri, which can be an added attraction for the tourist visiting the Saraswati heritage site here. ® Kapalmochan is another important pilgrimage on the downstream of river Saraswati in district Yamuna Nagar. It is an ancient place of pilgrimage for both Hindus and Sikhs. Every year nearly thousands of pilgrims visit the place during the annual, "Kapal Mochan Mela" which falls in the month of November. This place can be developed into a popular tourist destination by providing adequate infrastructures needed for its development. After Kapalmochan river Saraswati flows through Bilaspur, Mustafabad, Bhagwanpur, Pipli and enters in the ancient city of Thanesar. Pipli, a town located on National, Highway no.-l on the bank of river Saraswati can attract a large number of visitors to the holy city of Kurukshetra. There must be a gallery-displaying heritage of Saraswati at Pipli near Saraswati Bridge. The holy city of Kurukshetra located on the banks of river Saraswati is the ideal place where muitidimensionai and muitifaceted heritage of Saraswati can be preserved and exhibited for the sake of tourist and pilgrims thronging to the city in thousands. Srikrishna Museum at present is housing some archaeological artefacts recovered from the excavations of Harappan site located on the banks of river Saraswati. A separate gallery on Saraswati civilization can be accommodated in the museum provided the museum is extended further for this purpose. For the comprehensive development of pilgrimages and archaeological sites in Saraswati basin in Haryana, a statutory body like Saraswati Development Authority can be formed which can developed the important pilgrimages and archaeological sites along the Saraswati from Adi Badri to Sirsa. Package tours for the tourist can be organised to visit the archaeological sites. Approach roads to these sites are to be constructed and all the sites must be protected and conserved following an action plan made after the survey arid documentation of such sites of tourist interest. Heritage parks on Saraswati can be established at Jyotisar, Bibipur lake, Pehowa, Kalayat and Sirsa. The archaeological galleries set up at Sirsa and Jind needs to be upgraded so that the tourists can visit these galleries comfortably.

21 SUBTERRANEAN SARASWATI NADI: REVIVAL X/ B. B. Mittal Retd. Executive Engineer The Vedic Saraswati has not been conclusively identified with river Ghaggar. Some relevant points which stand clarified in the process of this identification are as follows: (i) The little rainy reason torrent, which rises about Abadri, ran by the side of Thanesar- Kurukshetra and later jointed the Markanda river was actually called praci-Saraswati after the old river. (ii) The source of the Saraswati at Plaksa-Prasravana is identical with that the Ghaggar near Lavasa in Pachad sub-division of District Nahan, Himachal Pradesh, while the place of its desiccation called Vinasana in later Vedic Literature is to be equated with Kalibangan in District Hanumangarh of Rajasthan where the flow of the Ghaggar ends in the sands. (iir) During the Rigvedic age the Saraswati was in mighty Perennial River flowing from the Himalayas to the ocean. (iv) Early Indian tradition provides sufficient evidence of the occurrence of a seismic- tectonic-volcanic upheaval which led to the diversion of the waters of the Saraswati ■ towards the Yamuna and also resulted in the emergence of small rivers like the ^ Roon ^"/(Aruna), the Sadadeni-Markanda (Saradanda) and the Thanesar Sarsuti (Praci- Saraswati). Some time back scientists from the Central Arid Zone Research Institute Jodhpur were reported to have,found that a subterranean river was flowing under the present dry bed of the Saraswati-Ghaggar- Harka in Rajasthan. This underground flow is said to be as rich as a water source that it could turn the vast areas of Rajasthan into" a rich grain producing land if tapped fully. This situation appears to find support from evidence thrown up during exploration of the Ghaggar bed for potable water in its upper reaches near the foot-hills. While rushing down from the mountains in their rocky beds rivers carry lots of big and small stories "which get rounded off while striking against one another and rolling over the hard river bed. ^ These boulders and stones get deposited in the bed as the river enters the plains and the velocity of its flow is reduced. It stands to reason that we should expect to come across a thick layer of such boulders and stones deep under the bed of the Ghaggar if a parallel flow of water is running there. Naturally this layer of stones must also be expected to be separated by a thick layer of material consisting of a substance like hard clay all along under the river bed. Drainage system in NW India has been a topic of research for last 2-3 decades. The main reason was the search for 'Lost River Saraswati'. FACTS ABOUT RIVER SARASWATI • A non-existent river system of India; It is supposed to be 1600 Km long and 3-12 Km wide. • Regarded as one of the Holiest and Mightiest river. References about its existence found in ancient Vedic and other literature like Rigveda, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Upanishads, Saustra sutras

etc. • Due to emotional/sentimental/Religious attachment of the people of the region with Saraswati any work or programme related with Saraswati finds an easy place in news. • River Satluj, Yamuna, Markanda, Ghaggar, Vyas, Chotang, Drishdvati, Kantii etc. were the tributaries of Saraswati.

22 e ■ Origin is believed to be from the Bandarpoonch Glaciar in Naitwar in NW GarhwaK^ " ■ Himalayas and flowed through Punjab, Haryana, western Rajasthan and drained in. Arabian sea. • Due to flow of Saraswati and its-sub-ordinate rivers Thar Desert region was once a lush green area full of vegetation. • ^ .Local people believe that river Saraswati still flows below the desert sand and its Himalayan connection is alive. REASONS ATTRIBUTED FOR DISAPPEARANCE OF SARASWATI • " Tectonic disturbances caused due to geological processes viz. upliflment of Himalayas and Afavallis. • Change in climatic conditions over North West India. • Piracy of Saraswati water by rivers viz. Ganga, Satluj, Markanda and Indus. • It buried up 4000 years ago Neo-tectonism and climatic changes dwindled Saraswati into an ephemeral stream and obliterated its lower course. IMPORTANCE OF SARASWATI • . Ground water and irrigation potential point of view-water scarcity in parts of western Rajasthan and northern Gujarat. Possibility of artificial recharge to Saraswati River using excess canal water. Archaeological point of view-many of the civilizations of Harappan, Pre-Harappan age thrived along the river. More than 1200 settlements including many prosperous towns to Harappan culture and Ashrams of Rishis existed along the bank of river Saraswati (Valdiya, 1996). SARASWATI NADI - ITS REVIVAL IN DISTRICT YAMUNA NAGAR AND KURUKSHETRA The existing creak of Sacred Saraswati Nadi in district Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra has been approved to be revived in its existing natural course as per revenue record in Shajra aksh. The revival work has been started from village Uncha Chandana in district Yamunanagar up to SYL-Narwana Branch, siphon near Jyotisar in Kurukshetra district in a total length of 92 km. .. The revival of existing Saraswati creak in its natural course will bring the free flow of Saraswati Nadi so as to avoid flooding of the area and simultaneously for recharging of the entire area where the water table is receding at fast pace besides irrigation of the adjoining area with gravity flow. The natural ereak of Saraswati Nadi after crossing through the siphon under SYL-Nanvana Branch passes through Bibipur Lake and joins Saraswati River in the Pehowa area. The restoration of existing water, body of Bibipur lake is an urgent requisition. If the Bibipur lake is restored and maintained in its original storage as is being done till year-2000 the flood water of SYL from Punjab area will be best utilized for Khariff crops in Kaithal area. It is pertinent to mention here that the land of Saraswati Nadi creak in Bibipur lake area is also available as per revenue record. In this way total creak of sacred Saraswati Nadi will be revived up to Pehowa Tirath. For the time being the supplies in the Saraswati Nadi atfer its revival can be augmented through DadupurNalvi scheme. In the larger prospective efforts are to be carried on to locate the original course of mighty sacred Saraswati much below it existing creak for which ONGC and remote-sensing departments of Govt. of India can be associated. Similarly, NGO- Saraswati Nadi Shod Sansthan can be also help in a big way. The seminars conducted during November 2009 at Kurukshetra presided over by Honourable Finance and Irrigation Minister Haryana graced by his holiness Shankaracharaya Jayendra Saraswati Ji.

. AGENDA POINTS RECEIVED FROM THE MEMBERS FOR THE MEETING OF TWO SUB- COIVIIVIITTEES VIZ.(1) RESEARCH AND (2) SHOWCASING FOR THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDY OF THE RIVER SARASVATI SCHEDULED FOR 7™ SEPTEMBER, 2018

Dr. B.R. n/lani: j 1. A large number of sites relating to early cultures' along with Sarasvati River are being destroyed due to constructional and agricultural activities, particularly in Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan. ASI and concerned State Governments have to take urgent steps to save such sites from destruction. 2. There is a need for Identification of ancient sites along with dried bed of the river as per ancient Sanskrit texts and Vedic literature. 3. At all important excavated sites at least good interpretation centers, if not museums, are required to be opened. 4. On certain cultural aspects fresh studies are required In view of the earliest civilizations on Sarasvati, for example, the practice of last rites, to know whether there was any possibility of cremation or only burial practice.

Dr. G.C. Srivastava 7. Bata-Markanda area in Paonta Sahib of H.P. for tectonic upliftment, creating a water divide within the Sarasvati basin. This tectonic uplift is related to Yamuna Tear fault dated to be about 5KBPE. 8.

Inaugural and Valedictory: Law Auditorium, Panjab University, Chandigarh

Technical Sessions: English Auditorium and Principal P.L Anand Auditorium, Panjab University, Chandigarh Concept Note An advanced use of scientific knowledge and methods has brought home the need to revisit established historicai understanding of Indian societies constructed under colonial paradigm. One such domain remains the legend of river Sarasvati, which has been neglected for long in twentieth century scholarship. Hailed as the mighty and glorious river in the Rig Veda the memory of the river remained embedded in many religious scriptures and cultural memories of Indian society contesting colonialist efforts to reject glorious chapters of Indian history. The name of Sarasvati river is evoked in many rituals and functions which dotted the socio-cultural world of north India. The deployment of Remote Sensing techniques by various agencies like ISRO has substantiated the India traditions praising the Sarasvati river which once flowed in region between rivers Indus and Ganges. The remote sensing of palaeochannel has helped the researchers to trace the origin and flow of Sarasvati river in the region which originated in Himalaya and descended in to the Rann of Kuchch after passing through, Haryana, Rajasthan, Sindh and Bahawalpur Provinces of Pakistan. The researchers are studying the emergence, movement and drying up of the river ,to understand the movement of settlements around its banks. The relation of Sarasvati river with Harappan civilization needs to be restudied in the light of recent discoveries. The effort will enable researchers to fill the existing gaps in the domain of knowledge while connecting geological understanding of the region with the historical movement of cultures and people of north India. With these objectives in mind. Panjab University, Chandigarh in collaboration with Haryana Sarasvati Heritage Development Board is organising two day international conference with the theme. Agriculture Practices along Sarasvati Palaeochannel at Present and Past and.Excavation of.Archaeological Sites alongwith Sarasvati Palaeochannels. The Government of Haiyana has constituted Haryana Sarasvati Heritage Development Board . (HSHDB) in 2015, with an objective to promote, preserve, raise awareness, develop and restore Sarasvati Heritage and to initiate and support research in the field of Sarasvati River Heritage, under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble CM Haryana at Panchkula (Haryana). Established in I882! Panjab University remains one of the premier universities in the country. Spread over 550 acres in Sectors 14 and 25 of the city of Chandigarh, the Panjab University has 78 teaching and Research Departments and 15 Centers/Chairs for teaching and research at the main campus V

The ancient cultural landscape of Haryana region presents interesting scholarly debates regarding ancient period, archaeological remains and historic settlements,the existence and the course of Sarasvati River. A range of disciplinary arguments exist within the domain of mj^hological, archaeological and geological studies. While each brings forth significant findings on the subject, scholars mostly counter argue on the subject. INTACH Haryana Chapter in association with institutions such as KU, Deccan College, Archaeological Survey of India and Department of Archaeology and Museums, Haryana aims to present the probable convergence of such researches through an interdisciplinary trialogue with mythology, archaeology and geology-geospatial studies conducted in the region to map its cultural landscape. The one day trialogue titled, 'The SindhUj-Saraswati Heritage in Haryana' will focus on important aspects of the archaeological, geological and mythological findings for better understanding of the landscape of the Sarasvati-Sindhu region.

Background Some of the crucial studies on Haryana's cultural landscape are carried out through the INTACH Heritage Academy grants by Prof. A R Chaudhari, Converter, Kurukshetra Chapter and Dr Sudhir Bhargava, Convener, Rewari Chapter. Mr. Sudhir Bhargava has mapped 'Brahmavarta' through detailed studies and mention in the Vedas. Parallelly, archaeologists have traced maximum number of archaeological sites in the State of Haryana which coincide with the Ghaggar basin, the recent one is Rakhigarhi by Prof. Vasant Shinde, VC, Deccan College and other sites such as Bhirrana, Farmana, Girawar earlier excavated by ASI. More recently, excavations are being carried out in Kunal by the Haryana State Archaeology and the National Museum. INTACH Haryana Chapter is in the process of studying the convergence of all above researches to determine the extent, boundary and component of this ancient cultural landscape along with its present alignment with an aim to use this interpretation for showcasing Haryana's unique heritage. 1

****** Date & Time: 2.30 PM on 12.06.2019 Venue: Central Secretariat Library, Sastrl Bhawan A rneeting of the experts to discuss the Issues on Indus Valley Civilization / Harappan CivHization was held under the Chairmanship of Secretary (Culture), Ministry Library,Mh?pn^ Shastnq'h f 'nh Bhawan, New Delhi. The list of participantsConference Is Room,at Annexure-I. Central Secretariat

and.j shared Cfcretaryhis views (Culture),regarding theMinistry Indus of Valley Culture Civilization welcomed based the scholarson his recent and officers visit to Harappan site of fRakhigarhi in Haryana. The Secretary (Culture) also Informed on the letter of Prof-B.B. Lai on the issues related to conservation of Kallbangan and asked the scholars to deliberate on It. The Secretary (Culture) emphasized on the necessity to impart the knowledge on recent findings of this civilization to the younger generation and the public in large. This Is due to the fact that several recent discoveries at sites like Kalibanpn, Rakhigarhi and Dholavira have brought to light new facets of this civilization. He further emphasized on the need to evolve methodologies and strategies on the conservation techniques adopted for such excavated sites, methods to showcase the findings to create awareness, and the necessity to Include the recent findings In the school textbooks so that the younger minds learn about the civilization from the school days onwards. In this regard, the Secretary (Culture) stressed the need to Initiate a dialogue with various state governments, NCERT, Ministry of Human Resources Development and other educational institutions to properly place the recent findings, their new perspectives for the understanding of our glorious past, so that they are included in the curricuium of various courses, degrees and other educational needs. The need for creating various mechanisms to spread awareness on the facets of Harappan Civiiization was also stressed upon by the Secretary (Culture), which may include popular publications, short films, documentaries that can also be hosted in the website, in this regard. Dr. R.S. Bisht highlighted on the documentary prepared by (NHK) in 9nm2000 coinciding with an exhibition^°"^b°''3tion titied withFour Japan Great BroadcastingCivilzations of Corporation the World which became very popular due to se.veral features of VR included in reconstructing the ancient Harappan city of Dholavira. Dr. Bisht further explained on the developments took place at Dholavira during 2003 aimed at creating a centre for research, exhibition and interpretation of Dholavira for the scholars, students and public alike. He proposed that similar facilities can be created for the sites of Kaiibangan and Rakhigarhi, two other prominent sites of Harappan civilization. The Secretary (Culture) indicated that based on the recent research, which has thrown several new perspectives, a concept paper may be prepared and circulated to ail concerned departments, educational institutions for includ^g them in the curriculum, in this regard, when the Secretary (Culture) requested for participation in this exercise, Dr. R.S. Bisht agreed to prepare a concept paper with the assistance of Director (EE). ASI. k h wmi The Director General, AS! informed the gathering of scholars on the recent initiatives of AS! in creating awareness and also the measures taken for conserving the important sites like Dholavira, Kalibangan and Purana Qila. The Director General, ASI asked the Director(EE) to make a presentation on the Harappan Civilization. The various aspects of the Harappan Civilization was introduced and the Secreta|ry (Culture) again emphasized that the information shown in the presentation is largely unknown to the general public regarding the recent revisions in chronology, technology, ornaments, ceramics, burial practices, trade contacts with Mesopotamia and several other facts. He once again reiterated the necessity to create a dialogue among other institutions like NCERT, UGC and UPSC to include these recent discoveries and perspectives In their curriculum. The information to be passed on should be written in a simple language so that the common public can understand and shall avoid technical terms. The Secretary (Culture) also informed that the story telling of several specimen of art, architecture and other features shall be created in order to link them with their creation' technology, craftsmen, context and importance in the context of Harappan civilization.' This will help In weaving a larger perspective for the consumption of general public who can appreciate them In a wider context. Exhibitions may also be orgahized showcasing different technologies and lives of the Harappans explaining the facts In a simple language for the benefit of the public. ■ At the end of the presentation, the Secretary (Culture) requested the scholars to put forth their views and suggestions one by one. Prof. Vasant Shinde, for Vice Chancellor, Deccan College, Pune highlighted on the necessity of participation of the public and to devise strategies to attract more people to understand and appreciate the civilization. There is a necessity to highlight the contribution of the Harappans in the modern context as they were expert civil engineers and many technologies have their origin during the Harappans, which needs proper highlighting and reach to the public. The government may involve the experts in this field to create mechanisms aimed at making the public In large to understand the various aspects of this civilization and to appreciate its contribution for several generations of civilizations, even up to the modern day. A first step In this regard will be to have an in house discussion in the form of a workshop or a seminar to discuss various issues and finalise the recent discoveries in the right perspective before placing them before the public. Dr. K.N. DIkshit, former Jt. DG, ASI also emphasized the incorporation of all recent findings in the school curriculum and also to involve the student^ of universities in spreading awareness of the civilization. The antecedents of this civilization along with the knowledge we have gathered on its demise shall also have to be properly placed before the public. There is also a necessity to provide enough legal protection for a large number of Harappan sites in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Western U.P. which are facing destruction and levelling due to developmental pressures, and agricultural expansion fecilitated by Irrigation networks. Once the sites are protected and even acquisi^on is Initiated in important Harappan sites, a select few mayibe developed as tourist destinations for imparting awareness among the public. A dedicated laboratory may be developed for carrying out multi-disclplinai-y studies on the artefacts, ceramics J

and other samples discovered form the Harappan sites in order to conduct a science based post-excavation analysis and research. This laboratory can be created in the new campus of PDDU Institute of Archaeology and sufficient technical posts created as this is possible only by Archaeological Survey of India and state governments are not properly equipped for initiating such an exercise." Dr. R.S. BIsht, former JDG, ASI highlighted the following points: a) Rakhigarhi, Haryana, one ofcthe five largest Harappan cities in the sub continent and the largest one in India, having multipartite character as is shown by a group of mounds belonging to the civilization, but as yet an integrated form of the whole city including the outlines of each individual mound is not yet clear, although the Harappan were multi-planners and architects. In order to realize the said objective, if a limited excavation Is conducted for about two field seasons, we may get far better picture of the integrated whole that the site conceals. Most significantly, Rakhigarhi has given strong evidence of antecedent phases as well, in order to understand that, the most ideal site is that of Arada (RGR 6), about 300 m to the west of main Harappan mounds. Here, there are seemingly two conjoined mounds, which hold promise of providing immense data to understand for the precedent time period(s). I

I b) Binjor, Rajasthan, the only the second industrial sitel(the other being Nageshwar. Gujarat) so far excavated in the sub-continent, although much evidence has already been available there, yet a fuller picture is stiii a desideratum. I I c) To select a few sites, which hold promise of yielding antecedent and successive cultures of the Harappan Civilization in order to show the continuum for the sake of further field investigations, olf late, it has been claimed by some scholars that the early habitations of the Sarasvati valley as early as millennium BCE. purely on the basis or'radiometric dates (some of the protagonists of this view are here in the meeting, K.N. Dikshit, B.R. Mani). albeit such old dates are at present not compatible with adequate amount of archaeological deposits and records. d) Complete survey and documentation of protohistoric sites in the northern (Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, J&K and western U.P.) and southern zones (Gujarat and parts of Rajasthan, M.P. and Maharashtra) of Harappan civilization, it is necessary because the rapidly growing reclamation of land for agiiculture, urbanizatiori, development works and industrialization have already taken a toll on a very large number of important sites and the activities will continue in the future. = e) For thorough documentation of the sites latest field survey techniques including drone, remote sensing are to be employed i f) For analysis of archaeological materials, establishment of dedicated scientific laboratories is imperative and, AS! should ta[

j g) Needless to say that 25 acres of land that the ASI had purchased for Institute of Archaeology will suffice to have all dedicated facilities. The only problem will arise is for positions for experts and technicians. For that, it may be mentioned at the inception of the Institute of Archaeology in 1986, 45 posts were created, most of which were for 1 expert faculties. Unfortunately, all of them, but for Director of the rank of y\DG have lapsed for not filling the positions. The same may be revived now. Some amount of money will be required for investment for purchasing equiphient and scientific instruments and supporting technicians. i Dr. Man Mohan Kumar, former Professor, MD University, Rohtak emphasized on the spread of several new facts about the civilization, the River Sarasvati, baked bricks used in the civilization among the public, media alike. Further, seminars / workshops need to be organized to delve on various aspects of the civilization, Interpretation centres can be built up at the important sites for creating further awareness. He also highlighted the need of protection of sites which are facing destruction and requested the-larger role of ASI. ' Shri Arnarendra Math, former Director, ASI indicated on the several possibilities of identification of various elements of the civilization including the stones,-metals and other raw materials used by the Harapans, how they were exploited anditraded over larger distances. There is also a need for mapping them in order to arriving at a correct perspective. The research on various aspects of the Harappan civilization needs to be augmented and well supported by the ASI and several aspects need to be standardized for the benefit and interest of the scholars and public alike, eg. Chronological framework, nomenclature like early, mature and late / post Harappan and expanciing and updating the studies on Indus script. Dr. Nath also requested for facilities for^the report writing vyork for which DG. ASI assured that the matter is being looked into and Dr. V.N. Prabhakar is already looking into the issues of creating a facility in the^RDDU Institute of Archaeology. ! Dr. Banani Bhattacharya, Dy. Director, Dept. of Archaeology|& Museum, Govt. of Haryana raised the issue of permission of Rakhigarhi Museum for which the Director General, ASI informed that the Haryana government needs to obtain the proper permission from the National Monuments Authority. Prof. P.P. Joglekar, Deccan College, Pune highlighted on the need for having interactive sessions / workshops wherein experts on Harappan civilization can share the recent knov/ledge and highlight the present state. This workshop may involve various stakeholders like educators, school and college curricula makers, state'governments and media. The topics that can be discussed include the following: 1. General spread and extent of the civilization in relation to other then contemporary civilizations ^ 2. Chronology, settlement patterns and nature of life 3. Origin and relation of Harappans with other Chalcolithic cultures 4. Economy and nature of State | 5. Crucial Harappan sites in details, e.g. Dholavira, Rakhigarhi etc. 6. Animal usage and husbandry practices , 7. Plant food and agriculture 8. Harappan script and religious beliefs i 9. Decline of the Harappan civilization The presentations by experts can be recorded and proceedings published in order to spread them to a larger audience. Further, such workshops can be|conducted at four or five destination all over india instead of only in the northwestern part of India. The Director General, AS! asked Shri Janhwij Sharma, JDG (Cons)to inform about his visit to Kalibangan, Bhatner Fort, Karanpura and Hisar Fort. Shri Janhwij Sharma, JDG (cons) informed that he inspected these places along with Dr. V.N. Prabhakar', Director(EE and Publication) recently and indicated on the several strategies formulated for Kalibangan including detailed surface documentation, providing canopies of select excavated portions and to open up certain areas for showcasing them to the public along with a detailed circulation plan. As the Secretary (Culture) had to leave for a meeting, the Director General, ASI delivered the concluding remarks to initiate a dialogue among the experts in Harappan archaeology and also to organize a seminar in the month of August 2019 in the PDDU Institute of Archaeology to formulate future course of action. The Director General, ASI also requested Dr. Bisht and Dr. V.N. Prabhakar to prepare the concept note on the recent findings as desired by the Secretary (Culture). The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the Chair. ANNEXURE-I I ' List of members participated in the meeting on Indus Valley I Harappan Civilization 1.
