The Varuna River is a minor tributary of the Ganges River in Uttar Pradesh, India. It originates at Phulpur in the Prayagraj district and merges into the Ganges near Sarai Mohana in the Varanasi district.^[1] The 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) stretch between Sarai Mohana and Sadar , Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh is prone to flooding.^[2] The name 'Varanasi' is originated from the name of two rivers, Varuna and Assi.
