Bisht writes, 'Traditions has it that it was once an extension of the Arabian Sea and was utilised for maritime trade through its various ports perched along both its banks---the southern and northern. The ships of the renowned merchant Jagdu Sha, carrying gold and miscellaneous provisions, are said to be sailing from port to port in the Rann'."
