The Yamuna originates from Yamunotri Glacier in Uttarakhand's tributary of Ganga and meets Ganga in UP near Allahabad.

Satluj is the tributary of Indus River.

Source of sutlej river is Rakshastal near manasarovar in west Tibet and Indus birth from manasarovar lake in kailsh mountain. Tibetan called Indus river is singee khambaba (mouth of lion). The distance between manasarovar lake and Rakshastal lake is only 80 km. Sutlej is the tributary river of Indus. Our country name is also associated with Indus river.

The Indus River originates in the northern slopes of the Kailash range near Lake Manasarovar in Tibet. While the Sutlej river originates from the Rakas Lake (Rakshas Tal) , which is connected to the Manasarovar lake by a stream, in Tibet and the brahmaputra river also originated from Manasarovar lake in tibet.
