Explanation:

Ganges is the holiest river in India. It originates from a Glacier named Gangotri in Uttranchal. The ancient Name of the river was Bhagirathi. It is believed that Bhagirath brought Ganges to earth and thus was named after him. Near Deoprayag Ganges join another river named Alaknanda and forms Ganga.

The Brahmaputra River has its source in southwest Tibet (Chemayung Dung glacier). It flows there with the name Yarlung Tsangpo River. The river runs across south Tibet to penetrate the Himalayan mountain ranges in huge canyons and subsequently Arunachal Pradesh. In Arunachal Pradesh, it is called as Dihang.
