Did you know?

The Yamuna once flowed into the mighty Saraswathy
So did the Sutudri
Sutlej abandoned her for the Sindhu
And Yamuna chose the Ganga
Her life veins were cut

The volume of scientific literature on these tectonic events is HUGE
Starting with Yashpal et al:1984

READ!
Saraswathy died, so that Prayaga could be born.

The river that mothered civilization itself,
The river that nourished thousands of Harappan cities
Gave us one last gift before she bled out of existence.

That is Prayaga. Remember that.
Make it a city the world envies.
Some folks are attacking me all out for insisting on the name #Prayaga instead of #Prayagraj

These simplistic folks use accreted Puranic verses as reference of proof.

They do not understand that the Yamuna joined Ganga only recently~<5000BP.

That history is not that simple.
