Most of the rivers of West Bengal originate from the Himalayan in the north or from the Chota Nagpur Plateau in the west and flow south or southeast over the state. Due to the rivers in the western plains, the water is very scarce or bare at any other time of the year, especially in the fall of the Falgun-Chaitra, except during the monsoon.
