Arranging tributaries of a river from west to east requires knowledge of their geographical locations and where they join the main river channel. Teesta (2) joins the Brahmaputra (Jamuna) in Bangladesh, west of the confluence point of the main Brahmaputra entering Bangladesh. Sankosh (4) forms part of the border between Assam and West Bengal, joining the Brahmaputra in Assam. Subansiri (3) is a major northern tributary joining the Brahmaputra further east in Assam. Lohit (1) is an eastern tributary that joins the Brahmaputra near Sadiya, marking the easternmost extent of the Brahmaputra in India before it turns south.
