Sutlej River
Chenab River
Ravi River
Indus River
Aratta is one of the ancient names of the Punjab. Among all the rivers, the Ravi, also known as Iravati, Prushni, or Hydarotes to the Greeks, has been the most important for the Punjab, not because of its size, but because of its historical significance. It supported the glorious Harappan civilization, with the ancient city of Harappa built on its banks. Along the Ravi’s banks two other great cities came up defining the evolution of our urban development; Lahore and Multan are Ravi’s progenies.
Sahiwal is the cradle of the ancient Harappan civilization, dating back to 3000 BC. Originally, Sahiwal was known as Gogera, named after a small village on the left bank of the River Ravi. In 1865, the city was renamed after Sir Robert Montgomery, the then-Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab in British-controlled India.
