Explanation

The youngest rivers in Indian originate from Himalayas. Most of the other Himalayan Rivers drain the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin. Its three main rivers are the Ganges and the Brahmaputra and the Yamuna, as well as other tributaries. The Brahmaputra originates as the Yarlung Tsangpo River in western Tibet, and flows east through Tibet and west through the plains of Assam. The Ganges and the Brahmaputra meet in Bangladesh, and drain into the Bay of Bengal through the world's largest river delta.
