Answer 2

India is a land of rivers. Rivers are generally treated as mothers and almost every major river of India has a legend regarding its origin. There is a debate as to which is the longest river of India.

The Ganga is the longest river of India, if we consider the total distance covered by a river within India.

Two major rivers of the Indian subcontinent – Brahmaputra and Indus, are though longer than the Ganga, but the distances these two rivers cover within India are much shorter than that of the Ganga.

The Ganga is the most sacred river to the Hindus. The Ganga originates from Gangotri Glacier (Uttarakhand).

Main stream of the river begins at the confluence of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers at Devprayag (Uttarakhand). The river flows through the states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and then enters Bangladesh. Major cities located at the banks of the Ganga are – Rishikesh, Haridwar, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Bhagalpur, Farakka Barrage (Malda). The total length that the Ganga covers during its journey is 2,525 kilometers (1569 miles) before it discharges in the Bay of Bengal.
