From what I gathered from my Punjabi roots is that having a rendezvous by the river was very common because that was one task assigned to the girls’ - to bring water home in clay pots. That’s one of the the only few places they could go and have a good time. Also, not only girls from your village went there, there was a good chance that girls from neighbouring villages also came (strangeness was akin to mystery/increased attraction, etc).

the concept of Panghat and lines like ‘mohay panghat pe nand laal cheR gayo re’
