Encyclopedia > Beas River

The Beas River (Punjabi: ਬਿਆਸ) runs through the Northwestern Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The river was also known as Arjiki or Vipas to the ancient Indians and the Hyphasis to the Ancient Greeks. The present name 'Beas' is thought to be a corruption of the word 'Vyas',the name of Veda Vyasa, the author of the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. The Beas River marks the eastern-most border of Alexander the Great's conquests in 326 BC. The river begins at the Rohtang Pass in the state of Himachal Pradesh, and merges with the Sutlej at Harike Pattan south of Amritsar in Punjab, India. The Sutlej continues into Pakistani Punjab and joins the Chenab River to form the Panjnad River; the latter joins the Indus River at Mithankot.
