It is located in the main town of Madaripur District. Most of the major districts are established around a river. Madaripur is not alike from those. This simple but beautiful district is found around the river "Arial Khan". Both of the banks are slapped by the almost overflowing water from the river. This river meandered the district all around and where ever you visit the district, you'll find the river or a branch of the river.

"Arial Khan" is originated from the River Padma, and flowed through several southern districts from Bangladesh. After crossing Ferry from "Mawa" you have to cross the "Arial Khan" Bridge to connect with southern portion of the country. Also, just near from the district Madaripur, there is a Ferry over "Arial Khan" to connect with another district Sariatpur.

The Padma enters Bangladesh from India near Chapai Nawabganj. It meets the Jamuna (Bengali: যমুনা Jomuna) near Aricha and retains its name, but finally meets with the Meghna (Bengali: মেঘনা) near Chandpur and adopts the name ‘Meghna’ before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Three side of the shariatpur is bounded by river. Padma river is bounded Shariatpur by various name such as Padma, Meghna & kirtinasha.
