Varuna River
The Varuna River is a minor tributary of the Ganges River in Uttar Pradesh, India. It originates at Phulpur in the Allahabad district and merges into the Ganges near Sarai Mohana in the Varanasi district. The stretch between Sarai Mohana and Sadar in the Ptratapgrah district is prone to flooding. The name 'Varanasi' is originated from the name of two rivers, Varuna and Assi.
According to the Vamana Purana, the river was created by the gods alongside the Asi River. It is also mentioned in the Mahabharata.
