India’s fastest flowing river, ahead of Ganga and Yamuna in terms of speed

India is a country with diverse languages ​​and cultures and is considered one of the most beautiful countries in the world. About 200 small and small rivers flow in India. Each of these river has its own identity and specialty.

There are holy rivers like Ganga and Yamuna in the country which are worshiped and performed. Of these, Ganga is known as the lifeline of India and is also the longest river in the country. Its length is about 2500 kilometers.

But do you know which river is the most flowing in India and the fastest flows compared to other rivers.

You may be surprised to hear that it is a river whose flow is more than the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. The fastest flowing river in India is named Teesta River.

The Teesta River originates from Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and falls into the Bay of Bengal. But we would like to clarify that this information is based on various sources available on the Internet. Zee 24 hours do not confirm this.

The Teesta River is a 414 -km long river that originates from the Pauhurri mountain in the eastern Himalayas, flowing through the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal, and then enters Bangladesh via Rangpur Division.

Teesta, the fastest flowing river in India, later meets the Jamuna River in Bangladesh, which eventually falls into the Bay of Bengal after meeting some major rivers of Bengal Delta.

The Teesta River is actually a major water source for coastal states and is important for hydroelectric projects. The Teesta River holds a special place in the life of Lepcha, a indigenous community of Sikkim.
