Geomorphologists opine that change of the course of the Kosi river resulted in the Ganga river flowing mainly through the Padma in Bangladesh. The Kosi river, also known as the Sorrow of Bihar, is a major tributary of the Ganga river. In the past, the Kosi river frequently changed its course, leading to floods in the region. In 2008, the Kosi river changed its course once again, causing extensive damage in Bihar and Nepal.
