The Sarsuti river, originating in Sivalik Hills and flowing through the palaeochannel of Yamuna, is a tributary of Ghaggar river in of Haryana state of India.[2][3][1] Its course is dotted with archaeological and religious sites dating back to post-Harrapan Mahabharata sites from Vedic period, such as Kapal Mochan, Kurukshetra, Thanesar, Brahma Sarovar, Jyotisar, Bhor Saidan and Pehowa.[1]
Origin and route
The Sarsuti is a small ephemeral stream that rises in the Sivalik Hills of south-eastern Himachal Pradesh in India,[4] and flows through Haryana.[5] It is palaeochannel of Yamuna before Yamuna shifted towards east due to plate tectonics of Earth's crust.[5] It has also been identified as one of the tributaries of Sarasvati River.
It flows south-east where it is joined by two other streams, the Markanda river and the Dangri, before joining the Ghaggar river near the village of Rasula [near Pehowa].[4]
It is thereafter known as the Ghaggar. Further downstream on the banks of the Ghaggar stands an old derelict fort [at sirsa city] named Sarsuti.[4]
According to Valdiya and Danino, Sarsuti is a corruption of the word Sarasvati, and the 6–8 km wide channel of the Sarsuti–Ghaggar system may have once been the Sarasvati River mentioned in the Rig Veda.[4][6]
