The Ravi River (, , ) is a
river in
India and
Pakistan. It is one of the five rivers which give
Punjab its name. The Ravi was known as or to Indians in
Vedic times and to the
Ancient Greeks. It originates in the
Himalayas in the Chamba district of
Himachal Pradesh following a north-westerly course. It turns to the south-west, near
Dalhousie, and then cuts a gorge in the Dhaola Dhar range entering the Punjab plain near Madhopur. It then flows along the Indo-Pak border for some distance before entering Pakistan and joining the
Chenab river. The total length of the river is about 720 km. The waters of the Ravi river are allocated to India under the
Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan and the resulting
Indus Basin Project. It is also called 'The river of
Lahore' since that great city is located on its eastern bank. On its western bank is located the famous
tomb of Jahangir.
