Option 4 : River Bhogava

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. River Bhogava.

  • Lothal was one of the southernmost cities of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, thrived along the Bhogava river, a tributary of Sabarmati, in the Gulf of Khambhat located in the modern state of Gujarat. 
  • Alamgirpur is the easternmost site of the Indus Valley Civilization that thrived along Yamuna River located in Uttar Pradesh.
  • Banawali, Kalibangan and Rakhigarhi are the Indus Valley Civilisation sites in the region of Ghaggar-Hakra rivers and their tributaries.
  • The Indus Valley Civilisation sites are located mainly in the region of the Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra rivers and their tributaries, but opinions differ on the role of the Saraswati river (whose descriptions in the Rig Veda are those of a snow-fed river) identified with the Ghaggar-Hakra river (which was a system of perennial monsoon-fed rivers and became seasonal around the time when the civilisation diminished).
