Buddhism rose here, and there are still a large number of Buddhist holy places in the Ganges. Is it the birthplace of China?

The Ganges River originates in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, flows through the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Debon, culkin and West Bengal, then enters Bangladesh, renamed Padma River, joins Jamuna River in the lower reaches of Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh, and finally empties into the Bay of Bengal, and its reach into the sea is called Meknell River.

Ganges valley is one of the cradles of Indian civilization. It is not only the sacred river of Hinduism today, but also the place where Buddhism rose in the past, and there are still a large number of Buddhist holy places.

Extended data:

Ganges River Basin is the largest river system in the South Asian subcontinent. To some extent, the water supply depends on the rain brought by the southwest monsoon in July and the running water formed by melting snow in the Himalayas during the high temperature season from April to June.

The precipitation in the Ganges River basin is accompanied by the southwest monsoon, but also by the tropical cyclone originating from the Bay of Bengal in June. Only a small amount of rainfall occurred during the period of 65438+February. The average annual rainfall is between 760 cm in the west and 2286 cm in the east of the basin.

From March to May before the rainy season and September after the rainy season, the delta region was hit by strong cyclone storms. Some of these storms caused great loss of life and destroyed houses, crops and livestock. A rainstorm in June1970165438+10 was catastrophic in scale, causing at least 200,000 deaths and possibly as many as 500,000 deaths.
