The term Pravaha is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Pravaha’ which means ‘flowing current’. It has been used in ancient Hindu texts to refer to various natural phenomena, including rivers, winds, and the cosmic forces that govern the universe.
Ancient Hindu texts (circa 1500 BCE - 500 CE)
Pravaha is also the name of a mythological demon in Hindu mythology, who is depicted as the god of rivers and the ruler of the waters. He is said to have been created from the tears of the goddess Saraswati, who wept in despair when the river Saraswati dried up. Pravaha is often represented with multiple heads and multiple arms, and is associated with the power to give life and destroy it.
