Lake Van

The Garden of Eden occupies a central position in the Biblical narrative but no place resembling it is found in West Asia, perhaps because the Garden could have been located at Pushkar in the state of Rajasthan in Western India. The defining feature of the Biblical Garden of Eden is four rivers emerging from a Holy Mountain ( Genesis 2:10, Ezekiel 28:14). There are four rivers named Nahar, Dai, Sagarmati and Saraswati emerging from the Pushkar Mountains. These rivers emerge on the north, east, south and west respectively.
