Varuna River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Varuna River is a minor tributary of the Ganges River. It is named after the god Varuna.

The Varuna rises at 25°27′N, 82°18′E, flows east-to-southeast for some 100 km, and joins the Ganges at 25°19′46″N, 83°02′40″E, just downstream of Varanasi. The name Varanasi itself is interpreted to be derived from the name of the river.
