Points to Remember:
- The Ghaghara River’s geographical features.
- Identification of the location where the river cuts a deep gorge.
- Understanding the geographical context of the options provided.
Introduction:
The Ghaghara River, also known as the Karnali River in Nepal, is a major tributary of the Ganges River. Originating in the Himalayas, it flows through Nepal and India, carving its path through diverse terrains. The question focuses on identifying a specific location where the river cuts a deep gorge. Understanding the river’s course and the geographical characteristics of the mentioned locations is crucial to answering this question correctly. This requires a factual approach, relying on geographical data and maps.
Body:
Identifying the Location of the Gorge:
The Ghaghara River’s course is characterized by various geographical features, including gorges, valleys, and plains. While the river cuts through many areas, the question asks for a specific location known for a deep gorge. Analyzing the options provided:
- (A) Rati: Rati is a location along the Ghaghara River, but it is not prominently known for a particularly deep gorge.
- (B) Shishapani: Shishapani, similarly, is a location along the river’s course, but lacks significant documentation of a prominent gorge.
- (C) Lagi: Lagi is also a location along the Ghaghara, but again, there’s no widely recognized deep gorge associated with this specific point.
- (D) Kalsi: While information on specific gorges along the Ghaghara is limited in readily available public sources, Kalsi is not typically associated with a major gorge of the Ghaghara River. The Ghaghara’s gorges are generally found in the higher reaches of the Himalayas, upstream of the locations listed.
Analysis of Options and Lack of Definitive Answer:
The question lacks sufficient information to provide a definitive answer based on readily available public knowledge. The options provided do not clearly point to a location known for a deep Ghaghara gorge. More detailed geographical data and maps specific to the Ghaghara River’s course would be needed to pinpoint the exact location of a significant gorge.
Conclusion:
Based on the available information, none of the options (A, B, C, or D) can be definitively identified as the location where the Ghaghara River cuts a deep gorge. The question requires more precise geographical data to provide a conclusive answer. Further research using detailed topographical maps and geological surveys of the Ghaghara River basin is necessary to accurately identify the location of such a gorge. Future questions of this nature should provide more specific geographical context or reference established geographical features. The lack of readily available information highlights the need for better documentation and public access to detailed geographical data of river systems.
