The Brahmaputra While most Indian rivers bear female names, this river has a rare male name,as it means "son of Brahma" in Sanskrit. From its source in southwest Tibet, the mighty Brahmaputra runs 1,800 miles through the Himalayas, across the Assam basin and down towards Bangladesh, eventually meeting with India’s holiest river, the Ganges. The average depth of the river is 124 feet (38 m) and maximum depth is 380 feet (120 m)
