Altre destinazioni Meghalaya Stato dell'India Meghalaya è uno stato nel nord-est dell'India. Il nome significa "la dimora delle nuvole" in sanscrito. La popolazione di Meghalaya a partire dal 2016 è stimata in 3.211.474. Meghalaya copre un'area di circa 22.430 chilometri quadrati, con un rapporto tra lunghezza e larghezza di circa 3: 1. Lo stato è delimitato a sud dalle divisioni del Bangladesh di Mymensingh e Sylhet, ad ovest dalla divisione del Bangladesh di Rangpur, e al nord e ad est dallo Stato indiano di Assam. La capitale di Meghalaya è Shillong. Durante il dominio britannico dell'India, le autorità imperiali britanniche lo soprannominarono "la Scozia dell'est". Meghalaya faceva precedentemente parte dell'Assam, ma il 21 gennaio 1972 i distretti delle colline Khasi, Garo e Jaintia diventarono il nuovo stato di Meghalaya. L'inglese è la lingua ufficiale di Meghalaya. Le altre principali lingue parlate sono Khasi, Garo, Pnar, Biate Hajong e Bengali. A differenza di molti stati indiani, Meghalaya ha storicamente seguito un sistema matrilineare in cui la discendenza e l'ereditarietà sono tracciate attraverso le donne; la figlia più giovane eredita tutte le ricchezze e si prende cura anche dei suoi genitori.

Ganges River, Hindi Ganga, great river of the plains of the northern Indian subcontinent. Although officially as well as popularly called the Ganga in Hindi and in other Indian languages, internationally it is known by its conventional name, the Ganges. From time immemorial it has been the holy river of Hinduism. For most of its course it is a wide and sluggish stream, flowing through one of the most fertile and densely populated regions in the world. Despite its importance, its length of 1,560 miles (2,510 km) is relatively short compared with the other great rivers of Asia or of the world.The Brahmaputra and Ganges river basins and their drainage network.The Brahmaputra and Ganges river basins and their drainage network.Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.Rising in the Himalayas and emptying into the Bay of Bengal, it drains one-fourth of the territory of India, and its basin supports hundreds of millions of people. The greater part of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, across which it flows, is the heartland of the region known as Hindustan and has been the cradle of successive civilizations from the Mauryan empire of Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE to the Mughal Empire, founded in the 16th century.Morning prayers along the Ganges River, Varanasi, India.Morning prayers along the Ganges River, Varanasi, India.© Jedraszak/iStock.comFor most of its course the Ganges flows through Indian territory, although its large delta in the Bengal area, which it shares with the Brahmaputra River, lies mostly in Bangladesh. The general direction of the river’s flow is from northwest to southeast. At its delta the flow is generally southward.READ MORE ON THIS TOPICIndiaIndia: The Ganges-Brahmaputra river systemThe Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, together with their tributaries, drain about one-third of India. The…Physical FeaturesPhysiographyThe Ganges rises in the southern Great Himalayas on the Indian side of the border with the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Its five headstreams—the Bhagirathi, the Alaknanda, the Mandakini, the Dhauliganga, and the Pindar—all rise in the mountainous region of northern Uttarakhand state. Of those, the two main headstreams are the Alaknanda (the longer of the two), which rises about 30 miles (50 km) north of the Himalayan peak of Nanda Devi, and the Bhagirathi, which originates at about 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above sea level in a subglacial meltwater cave at the base of the Himalayan glacier known as Gangotri. Gangotri itself is a sacred place for Hindu pilgrimage. The true source of the Ganges, however, is considered to be at Gaumukh, about 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Gangotri.GangotriGangotriGangotri glacier in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand state, northern India, one of the sources of the Ganges (Ganga) River.© afateev/FotoliaThe Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers unite at Devaprayag to form the main stream known as the Ganga, which cuts southwestward through the Siwalik Range (Outer Himalayas) at the northern edge of the Indo-Gangetic Plain to emerge from the mountains at Rishikesh. It then flows onto the plain at Haridwar, another place held sacred by Hindus.Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India: footbridgeRishikesh, Uttarakhand, India: footbridgeFootbridge across the Ganges (Ganga) River near Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India.© jolefantoni/FotoliaThe volume of the Ganges increases markedly as it receives more tributaries and enters a region of heavier rainfall, and it shows a marked seasonal variation in flow. From April to June the melting Himalayan snows feed the river, and in the rainy season, from July to September, the rain-bearing monsoons cause floods. During winter the river’s flow declines. South of Haridwar, now within the state of Uttar Pradesh, the river receives its two principal right-bank tributaries: the Yamuna River, which flows through the Delhi capital region and then roughly parallels the southeastward flow of the Ganges before joining it near Allahabad, and the Tons, which flows north from the Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh state and joins the Ganges just below Allaha
