The Indus River originates in the high Himalayas and runs through Pakistan for the majority of its course.
The Indus is one of India's seven holy rivers, along with
the Ganges, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswati, Narmada, and Cauvery, however its
importance has waned in recent years, particularly since Pakistan's
establishment in 1947 made it unreachable to most Hindus.
Despite its decreasing religious importance, the Indus is
significant historically, since several archeological sites from the Indus
Valley civilization have been uncovered on its banks.
