Padma River
The Padma is a major river in Bangladesh. It is the main distributary of the Ganges River originating from the Himalayas. It enters Bangladesh from India near Chapai Nababganj. It meets the Jamuna river near Aricha, retains its name, but finally meets with the Meghna River near Chandpur and takes the name Meghna before flowing into the Bay of Bengal.
Rajshahi, a major city in southwestern Bangladesh, is situated on the bank of the Padma.
