Name of Punjab is due to 5 Rivers… Jehlum, Chenab, Satluj, Ravi and Biyas.

Then the Sikh religion that flourished in Punjab (that is native to Punjab) have 5 Ks as religious symbols.

I just read that there are Punj-Peer (5 Saints) of Punjab, that are also mentioned in Heer Waris Shah. Any ideas who these 5 peer (Saints) are?

The fifth river I believe is Indus. At some stage there were seven rivers including saraswati. Not so sure about five peers.
