Gogra, or GHAGRA, one of the largest affluents of the Ganges, joins that river from the north, at the town of Chapra, after a generally south-east course of 600 miles. It rises in the higher Himalayas, passes through Nepal, and after reaching the level land becomes the great waterway of the North-west Provinces and Oudh. Its principal tributary is the Rapti, also of commercial importance.
