Indus River

Sri Vadirajaru treats Sindhu Nadi as a sacred tirtha and praises its purifying and devotional significance. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.

Sthala Purana: Indus River - Indian access at Leh region belongs to the sacred river geography of Bharatavarsha. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
