Saraswati Nagar (formerly Mustafabad) is a Town in Yamunanagar District in the Indian state of Haryana.[1]
According to government records, the town was earlier known as Saraswati Tirth which was later under Muslim rule renamed as Mustafabad. It was officially renamed to Saraswati Nagar via a notification by the BJP government in 2016 after the Sarasvati River's paleochannel flowing through there.[1] [2] [3]
Saraswati Nagar is 18 km from Jagadhri and 23 km from Yamunanagar. This name arises from the presence of the Saraswati River. There is an old Shiva temple near this river.
