Yamuna originates from Yamunotri glacier which lies at the height of 6,315 metres. The glacier is situated against a steep slope, a little below the Peak of Kalind Parbat mountain in Uttarakhand. Meltwater of Yamunotri glacier gathers at Saptarishi Kund from where the downward travel of the river commences. Her reference as a river and as a goddess has been found in the various historical and ancient texts.
