Q. What is the origin of the Bagmati River, recently seen in news?
Answer: Shivapuri Hills
Notes: Flooding has occurred in Bihar's Muzaffarpur area due to rising water levels in the Bagmati River. This river, originating from the Bagdwar area in Nepal's Shivapuri Hills, is considered holy by Hindus and Buddhists. Flowing through diverse terrains, it travels approximately 360 km before joining the Burhi Gandak River. The Bagmati is fed by springs, monsoon rainfall, and tributaries, transiting three distinct physiographic zones of the Nepal Himalayas.
