The Indus and the Chenab Rivers, two of the five rivers (Indus, Satluj, Ravi, Beas and Chenab) that give the undivided Punjab its name, pass through parts of Jammu & Kashmir. Called the Tawi Rivers they are the tributaries of the Chenab - The Jammu Tawi and the Malkani Tawi. The railway of India has most appropriately chosen the name Jammu Tawi as the name of Jammu City's railway station. The city of Jammu is situated on the right bank of the Tawi.
Tawi can be defined as a stream which flows throughout the year, with fluctuating water levels during the various seasons.
The Tawi originates mainly at Kalplas Kund of Seoj Dhar in the Bhadarwah region of Doda district, from where it descends to Sudh Mahadeva. It then turns northwest towards Chennani for about 42 kms. From Chenani it turns southwestward for a distance of 21 kms where it emerges in an open area through which it flows to the south for 16 kms. Here it heads towards Jinganu where it once again tumbles through a hilly range to reach Jandrah. The river then passes through another range of hills to enter Nagrota arriving at Jammu. Out of the hills of Jammu it heads on to add its name to the legendary Punjab.
