Originated from the Tibet, the river Brahmaputra runs eastwards to China and across

and Assam and mingles with Ganga River and reaches the Bay of Bengal.
It covers 626,000 sq
mi (1,621,000 sq km) and includes 24 major tribunals. The hydraulic feature of Brahmaputra is a
unique. It changes in course constantly
because of heavy rainfall. During Rainy
season, it has an esteemed discharge of more than 500,000 cu ft/sec.
After 1954, the
flood-control projects were started to protect the entire regions on the banks
of Brahmaputra. This River is navigable
through Bengal Plain and Assam Upstream.
The growth of heavy transport of this river is important to the continuous
development of the economic resources of the places around, like tea estates,
forest, jute (Bangladesh), coal, oil and natural gas.
On the banks of the
river Brahmaputra in Assam, there is a famous Temple called Kamakhya for Lord
Siva.
Do offer your prayers at this temple when you make a trip to Assam.
