Sapta Sindhu

Meaning

Proper Noun

• The seven sacred rivers in Indian mythology, often referred to in Rigveda and in Zend Avesta. They are often located in the Punjab region in northwestern India / northern Pakistan.

Origin

• From सप्त + सिन्धु. This expression in English incorporates a grammatical error: Sindhu is the nominative singular; used with "seven", the noun should, of course, be in the plural: Sindhava:/Sindhavas, सप्तसिंधव:, which is the term used in Sanskrit.
