Mahananda Express - a train running between New Delhi and Alipurduar
Mahananda River | Mahananda | Mahananda Sapkota | Mahananda Express |
There was a time when the Kosi and the Mahananda joined the Karatoya and formed a sort of ethnic boundary between people living south of it and the Kochs and Kiratas living north of the river.
It is said that this area had strategic and commercial importance due to its location at the junction of the rivers Mahananda and the Ganges.
The Pundra land appears to have been bounded on the east by the river Kasataya, on the west by the modern Mahananda, which separates it from Anga, on the south by the modern Padma, and on the north by the hills, which were inhabited by aboriginal hill tribes, such as the Kiratas.
On the east, its territory was probably extended up to the forests along the banks of the rivers, Koshi and Mahananda.
