Question

Essay on rivers of India 200 words

Answer 1

Answer:

The largest and most famous river in India is the Ganges, or to give it its proper native name, the Ganga. It rises in the Himalayas near Kamet mountain, and passes through the Siwalik Hills at the sacred city of Hardwar, where many pilgrims go to bathe in its waters.

Then it flows through the Uttar Pradesh, passing Kanpur, until it is joined at Allahabad by the Jamuna, which also rises in the Himalayas to the west of the source of the Ganges, and which passes the famous towns of Delhi and Agra on its way to its junction with the Ganges.

The Ganges, rein­forced by the water of the Jamuna, flows due east to Banaras, the most sacred city of Hinduism, which is visited by thousands of pilgrims who wish to worship at its many shrines, and above all bathe in the water of the sacred river. The old count it a privilege to die there, that their ashes may be carried away by the holy river.

Answer 2

Answer:

The rivers of India may be classified into two categories; via: rivers of the north India and south India.

As the rivers of the north India have their sources in the Himalayas, they are perennial, being snow-fed in summer. The major rivers are the Ganga and its tributaries, the Brahmaputra and the Sutlej, Ravi and Beas – the main tributaries of the Indus. The major rivers of south India are the Narmada, the Tapti, the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna, the Cauvery etc. These rivers have their sources in different mountain ranges of the south India and hence they are not perennial – they dry up in summer.
