hello friend
here is the answer of ur query
The Brahmaputra rises in the great Chemayungdung glacier in the Kailas range of the Himalayas a little south of the Lake Konggyu Tsho at an elevation of about 5,150 m located at 30° 31′ N latitude and 82° 10′ E longitude. This source is about 150 km away from the source of the Indus and only 35 km from the birth place of the Satluj.
Its bed is 3,525 m high at Tradom (Teladuomu) and 3,300 m at Shigatse. It receives a large number of tributaries in Tibet. Mariam La separates the source of the Brahmaputra from the Manasarovar Lake. With a total length of 2,900 km the Brahmaputra is one of the longest rivers of the world and passes through Tibet, India and Bangladesh.
The Brahmaputra has a braided channel for most of its passage through Assam. There is a constant shifting of the river channels and the sandy shoals.The river is nearly 16 km wide at Dibrugarh and forms many islands, the most important of which is Majuli. It is 90 km long and measures 20 km at its widest, having an area of 1,250 sq km. It flows for a distance of 270 km in the name of Jamuna River and joins the Ganga at Goalundo. The united stream of the Jamuna and the Ganga flows further in the name of Padma. About 105 km further downstream, the Padma is joined on the left bank by the Meghna, originating in the mountainous region of Assam. From the confluence of Padma and Meghna, the combined river is known as the Meghna which makes a very broad estuary before pouring into the Bay of Bengal.
hope this helps u =)
