Kangsha (কংস), a river from Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশ). It has several names, Kangsha (কংস), Kangshai (কংসাই), Kangshabati (কংসবতী), etc. This flows through Mymensingh (ময়মনসিংহ) and Netrakona (নেত্রকোনা). All of the photos of this river were taken from Netrakona (নেত্রকোনা).
The river is originated from the Garo Hills (গারো পাহাড়) of India and flows as Kongsho (কংস), and later joined with the Shomeswari (সোমেশ্বরী) river at Jaria-Jhanjail (জারিয়া-ঝান্জাইল). The river kept the name Kangsha (কংস) after joining together.
Near the bridge you'll find two bazaar at either side. One is Jaria (জারিয়া), and other one is Jhanjail (ঝান্জাইল). People used to call this place as Jaria-Jhanjail (জারিয়া-ঝান্জাইল) together.
During its course the river become too narrow and before demising it has joined with another great river of Bangladesh, Shurma (সুরমা), at Sunamganj (সুনামগঞ্জ).

In Bangladesh, the Brahmaputra (ব্রহ্মপুত্র) river is joined by the Teesta (তিস্তা) river (or Tista), one of its largest tributaries. Below the Tista, the Brahmaputra splits into two distributary branches. The western branch, which contains the majority of the river's flow, continues due south as the Jamuna to merge with the lower Ganges called as Padma river. The eastern branch formerly the larger, but now much smaller is called the lower or old Brahmaputra.
Mymensingh (ময়মনসিংহ) district stands just beside the old Brahmaputra river. It curves southeast to join the Meghna River near Dhaka. The Padma and Meghna converge near Chandpur and flow out into the Bay of Bengal. This final part of the river is called Meghna.
The Brahmaputra enters the plains of Bangladesh after turning south around the Garo Hills below Dhuburi, India. After flowing past Chilmari, Bangladesh, it is joined on its right bank by the Tista river and then follows a 150 miles (240km) course due south as the Jamuna river. South of Gaibandha, the Old Brahmaputra leaves the left bank of the main stream and flows past Jamalpur and Mymensingh to join the Meghna river at Bhairab Bazar.
There are lot of bridges over this river at several districts. Near the Mymensingh town, you'll find two bridges. One is for the road transports, and other one is only for railway service. From one bridge other one can be seen and a traveler can enjoy the whole view of river while walking through a passage just beside the river.

The Buriganga River (বুড়িগঙ্গা), previously known as "Old Ganges", flows past the southwest outskirts of Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. Its average depth is 7.6 meters (25 ft.) and its maximum depth is 18 meters (58 ft.). In the distant past, a course of the Ganges River used to reach the Bay of Bengal through the Dhaleswari River.
When this course gradually shifted and ultimately lost its link with the main channel of the Ganges it was renamed the Buriganga. It is said that the water levels during high and very high tides in this river astonished the Mughals. In the 20th century the water table and river became polluted by polythene and other hazardous substances from demolished buildings near the river banks.
Photograph of Dacca (Dhaka) taken in the 1880s, from an album 'Architectural Views of Dacca', containing 13 prints by Johnston and Hoffman. View looking along the river Buriganga towards the city of Dhaka situated on the left bank. A Hindu temple tower stands at the water's edge.
