Explanation:

The Ganga is the most important river in India, both from the point of view of its basin and its cultural significance. It rises in the Gangotri glacier near Gaumukh (3,900 m) in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. It is shared by Uttarakhand (110 km) and Uttar Pradesh (1,450 km), Bihar (445 km), and West Bengal (520 km), and falls into the Bay of Bengal. In its course, it is joined by a large number of tributaries, both from the right and left banks.
