The Brahmaputra ( [brɔmmɔput̪rɔ nɔd̪]), also called Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, is a trans-boundary river and one of the major rivers of Asia.
With its origin in the Angsi glacier, located on the northern side of the Himalayas in Burang County of ***** as the Yarlung Tsangpo River, it flows across southern ***** to break through the Himalayas in great gorges (including the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon) and into Arunachal Pradesh (India), where it is known as Dihang or Siang. It flows southwest through the Assam Valley as Brahmaputra and south through Bangladesh as the Jamuna (not to be mistaken with Yamuna of India). In the vast Ganges Delta, it merges with the Padma, the popular name of the river Ganges in Bangladesh, and finally the Meghna and from here it is known as Meghna before emptying into the Bay of Bengal.
