It is also the ninth longest river in the world. The Brahmaputra originates in the Himalayas in Tibet and flows through India and Bangladesh before emptying into the Bay of Bengal.<\/p>\n<p>The Brahmaputra is a major source of water for irrigation and drinking water in India and Bangladesh. It is also a major transportation route.
