Sapta Sindhu is a term found in the Hindu scriptures and is the common name given to seven rivers which flowed through North-west of India. The names of these seven rivers are Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Narmada, Godavari, Sindhu and Kaveri.
There is a legend that these seven rivers flowed down to earth when Indra killed Vritra. The point that is to be noted here is that the names of the seven rivers are mentioned differently in different scriptures.
The names of 5 sarovars (ponds) include Mansarovar (Himalayas), Kurukshetra Sarovar (Haryana), Galtaji (Rajasthan, Jaipur), Pushkarji (Ajmer, Rajashthan), and Pampa Sarovar (South India).
