Abstract

India is the land of rivers. These were not treated merely as a flow of water or as a drain. The Nadī Sūkta of the Rigveda highlights them as mother and goddesses. As the water itself was regarded as the most powerful means of purity in Indian culture, rivers got honor to be the source of purification of all types of sins. Ancient Rishis constructed their Ashramas and started teaching on its banks which developed as educational centers. Many tīrthas and temples were built on its banks. The ancient lawgivers made strict rules for keeping the water of these rivers pure.
