Dāmodara.—The Dāmodara which is the tributary of the Bhāgīrathī takes its rise in the hills near Bagodar in the district of Hazaribagh, and flows south-east through Hazaribagh and between the districts of Manbhum and Santal Parganas, and then through the districts of Burdwan and Hooghly. The Damodar flows into the Hooghly in several channels through the district of Hooghly (Law, Rivers of India, p. 27).
