Did you know that these two names (Jamuna and Yamuna) are two different names for two different rivers? To put it in a simple way, Jamuna is Brahmaputra's name in B'Desh, and 'Yamuna is a Ganges tributary'. I didn't.
Having fun with this book: Rivers of the World: a social, geographical and environmental Sourcebook/James R. Penn. The coverpage has an Indian river's picture with the washer-men/women (dhuba-dhubuni-r ghat) washing clothes and of course boats carrying people, even though it includes all the rivers of the world, kind of interesting!
It probably is the Ganges, because the people on the river bank washing clothes, look like commercial washers and does not look Assamese, well, there are no Assamese 'dhuba's in Assam too, are there? So it may very well be the Brahmaputra, but looks pretty narrow, you can see the other side of the river, like being able to see Uttor-Guwahati from Guwahati, which is not possible, if I remember correctly.
Well, my thoughts for the day! :) what is yours?
