The Ganges continues into Bangladesh, its name changing to the Padma. In West Bengal state, India, a feeder canal taking off from its right bank diverts 50% of its flow southwards, artificially connecting it to the Hooghly river.
It flows south and east through the Gangetic plain of North India, where it receives the right-bank tributary, the Yamuna which also rises in the western Indian Himalayas, and several left-bank tributaries from Nepal that account for the bulk of its flow. The 2,525 km (1,569 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
