Saraswat Brahmins, one of the five ancient Gowda Brahmins, the others being Kanyakubja, Maithili, Utkal and Gowda Brahmins, derived their name basically from the mythological river Saraswati that had flowed in the present Punjab and Rajasthan region, from the Himalayas to the western sea near Dwaraka in Gujarat.

The River Saraswati :
Even today it is believed that the River Saraswati flows underground as detected by the remote sensing satellites. The river can also be seen in parts near the Lake Pushkar in Rajasthan, Sidhpur in Northern Gujarat and Somnath in Saurashtra, Gujarat. There is also a strong belief that in Prayag, Allahabad, flowing under-ground Saraswati joins Ganga and Yamuna to form the triveni sangam. Again this is corroborated now with some research studies that Saraswati flowed very close to Yamuna which changing its course a little, pilfered the waters of Saraswati and emptied it once for all. Therefore, today the once famous and great river that had acted as the cradle of Vedic Civilisation called Saraswati Valley Civilisation, is not visible. Then it is believed that Rajasthan became a desert as the river went dry. This must have taken place thousands of years ago. Manusmriti makes a mention of Brahmavarta as the most sacred land lying between two rivers, Saraswati and Drishadwati which in fact formed the homeland of Saraswats - the Saraswat country and from here several migrations took place by our forefathers to the other parts of Bharat Khanda.
