List Of Rivers Of India
This is a list of rivers in India. Rivers that flow into the sea are sorted geographically, along the coast starting from the Bay of Bengal in the east, moving along the Indian coast southward to Kanyakumari, then northward along the Arabian Sea. Tributary rivers are listed hierarchically in upstream order: the lower in the list, the more upstream.
The biggest major rivers of India are:
- flowing into the Bay of Bengal: Brahmaputra, Ganges (with its tributaries Yamuna, Kameika, Gomti, Chambal), Meghna, Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri (and their main tributaries)
- flowing into the Arabian Sea: Indus, Narmada, Tapti (and their main tributaries)
The remaining rivers are:
