Explanation
Chenab River is historically known as Chandrabhaga in ancient Indian texts. It originates from the Bara Lacha Pass in Lahaul-Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh and flows through Jammu and Kashmir before joining the Indus River system in Pakistan.
AI explanation
The Chenab River is formed by the confluence of two streams, the Chandra and the Bhaga, which meet at Tandi in Himachal Pradesh to form the combined name "Chandrabhaga" (the river's name in its upper Himachal stretch and in Pakistan). This distinguishes it from rivers like the Ravi or Godavari, which have entirely different, unrelated sources.
