Dhaleswari River
Dhaleswari River, river of central Bangladesh. The Dhaleswari is an arm of the Jamuna River (the main course of the Brahmaputra River), which it leaves south-southwest of Tangail. It then meanders in a southeasterly direction for about 100 miles (160 km) through a heavily cultivated jute and rice area west and south of Dhaka to join the Meghna River near Narayanganj.
