Atrai River (also spelt as Atreyee) (Template:Langx) flows in West Bengal in India and northern parts of Bangladesh.
In ancient times the river was called Atreyee and finds a mention in the Mahabharata, one of the two Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is linked with Jorapani river,[1] Fuleswari river,[2] and Karatoya River. The Atrai originates in Siliguri ward no 40, near Baikanthapur forest of West Bengal and after flowing through Dinajpur District of Bangladesh, it enters India again.[3] It passes through Kumarganj and Balurghat community development blocks in Dakshin Dinajpur district.[4] The river then renters Bangladesh. It splits into two rivers—the Gabura and the Kankra in Dinajpur district. It crosses the Barind Tract and flows into Chalan Beel.[3] The river serves as a perennial source of fishing, even though it is often the cause of flooding in many areas during monsoons.[5]
The total length of this river is approximately Template:Convert and its maximum depth is Template:Convert.
