Explanation

The Ganga River, which originates in the Himalayas and flows through India, is called the Padma River when it enters Bangladesh. The Padma then joins the Meghna and Jamuna rivers before flowing into the Bay of Bengal as the Meghna estuary. This is a standard geographical naming convention for transboundary rivers.
