BrahmaputraThe Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers of Asia. In Sanskrit, it means "son of Brahma". It originates in the Himalayan mountains in western Tibet, in China and flows 2900km into the sea in the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh. It is called Tsangpo in Tibet and Jamuna in Bangladesh. Old sanskrit calls it Lauhitya and the people of the Brahmaputra valley calls in Luit.
