In this pariyatra, Shri Balarama visits many tirthasthana.
An attempt should be made to locate and map all these sites along the Vedic River Sarasvati.
Two leads are provided for this journey into the mists of India's past and the flows of Vedic River Sarasvati in geological time: 1. Location of Anupgarh (Vinashan); 2. Location of Pehoa (Prthudaka)(where a ghat for worship is being reconstructed)
"He noticed the river vanishing at place called Udapana, where he could trace its course on the basis of vegetation growing in the moist channel bed (Shalya Parva, section 36). At Vinashan, the river became invisible again. However, upstream at Nagadhanva, the ground was swarming with snakes. Balaram then reached a place where the Sarasvati turned in the eastward direction 'like the torrents of the rain bent by the action of the wind'. (Shalya Parva, section 37). This could be the spot near the present-day town of Anupgarh." (Valdiya, KS, 2002, Saraswati: the river that disappeared, Hyderabad, Universities Press, p.79)
Two images of Vedic River Sarasvati: one is a direct Landsat image showing the forking of the palaeo-channel at Anupgarh; the other is a reconstruction of the palaeo-channel of Vedic River Sarasvati, from glaciers to Rann of Kutch, based on an analysis of many satellite images, particularly ISRO IRS-1C, and review by scores of scientists working with Regional Remote Sensing Services Centre (ISRO), Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
