evidence: Nelang and Jadhang were the only two villages in this vast valley. Now both are evacuated for the last 30 years and people resettled near Harsil, just behind the ex-private Wilson’s bungalow. [...] A little ahead of Nelang, at Naga, is the confluence of Nilapani gad and Jadh ganga. Up north from here at Dosindhu, the Jadhang and Jadh ganga meet. On the Jadhang gad was a village of the same name. The original name of Jadh ganga is Jahanvi with an interesting legend narrated in the ancient Indian text of the Puranas. King Jahnu was disturbed by the whole place being flooded by the waters of the Ganga. He drank up the Ganga in anger which, by intercession of the gods was restored as his daughter; hence the river is called the Jahanvi. Jahnu’s wife was Kaveri, who by his curse became the river Kaveri, which flows south of Madras in South India. Thus both mother and daughter are rivers. The connection between the Jadh ganga valley and Madras can be baffling like many ancient tales! [...] Dosindhu: Meeting of two-rivers, here Jadh ganga (Jahanvi) and Jadhang.
