The rivers Indus and Ganga have distinct origins:
– The Indus River originates in the Tibetan Plateau near Lake Mansarovar in China. It flows through Tibet, enters India in Ladakh, and further continues into Pakistan, eventually draining into the Arabian Sea.
– The Ganga River originates from the Gangotri Glacier in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It flows through several Indian states like Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal, before finally merging into the Bay of Bengal. These rivers have separate origins—one in Tibet and the other in India—having different courses and destinations.
