Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Ichamati

River of Pabna District, Eastern Bengal and Assam, which is mentioned in Martin's Eastern India in the description of Dinajpur. It is now fed by the Ganges, from which it is given off about 7 miles south-east of Pabna town, in 23° 56' N. and 89° 20 E. After passing Pabna, it flows through the District by a tortuous route, and joins the Hurasagar a short distance below the confluence of that river with the Baral. During the rains it becomes a wide and beautiful stream, but for eight months in the year it is little more than a dry sandy bed. As shown in the maps of Major Rennell, it would appear at one time to have been connected with the Karatoya.
