==History==
The river is not mentioned in the 1910 district gazetteers, but it is mentioned in the 1994 Bardhaman District gazetteer.<ref name = "Chattopadhyay33">Chattopadhyay, Akkori, ''Bardhaman Jelar Itihas O Lok Sanskriti'' (History and Folk lore of Bardhaman District.), {{in lang|bn}}, Vol I, p 33, Radical Impression. {{ISBN|81-85459-36-3}}</ref>

During the devastating floods of 1914, the [[Damodar River]] split in two. One part joined the Mundeswari and the main channel of water of the Damodar now flows into the Mundeswari, turning it into a major river.<ref name = "Chattopadhyay33"/>

==Geography==
It originates as a canal from Ramchandrapur, a village in Madabdihi at the police station in [[Raina, Bardhaman|Raina]] II block of the Bardhaman district. It flows past Kaiti Chakbhura and enters the [[Hooghly District]]. It ultimately flows into the [[Rupnarayan River]].<ref name = "Chattopadhyay33"/>
