    Explanation:
    • The Brahmaputra is a perennial river which originates in Tibet, where it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo.
    • It flows eastwards through southern Tibet for a distance of 1,625 kilometers and at its easternmost point, it swings around to make a spectacular U-turn at the Shuomatan Point or Great Bend before it enters India’s easternmost state, Arunachal Pradesh. Here it is known as the Siang River.
