Explanation
The Brahmaputra river is known as the Dihang (or Siang) when it enters India through Arunachal Pradesh. It originates from the Angsi glacier in Tibet, where it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo.
- After flowing eastward through Tibet, the river takes a sharp turn at Namcha Barwa and enters India, where it is called the Dihang.
- It is only after the Dihang is joined by the Dibang and Lohit rivers in the Assam valley that it is formally called the Brahmaputra.
- Subansiri and Dikhow are tributaries of the Brahmaputra, while the Teesta is a major river originating in Sikkim that joins the Brahmaputra in Bangladesh.
