Course

The Auranga originates near Soheda in a pass. It descends from the Ranchi plateau and pursues a winding course in a north-westerly direction for a distance of about 80 kilometres (50 mi), till it flows into the Koel near Kechki 16 kilometres (10 mi) south of Daltonganj.[2]

It passes through a large valley, the southern face of which is formed by the Kumandih hills. Its bed widens rapidly and by the time it reaches the Palamu Fort it has attained a considerable size. Where the ruins of these two forts overlook it, the channel is crowded with huge masses of gneiss. Owing to its rocky bed, navigation is impossible in the rains, and at other times the supply of water is insufficient for even the smallest craft.[2]

Tributaries

Its principal tributaries are the Sukri and Ghaghri.[2]

gollark: Couldn't you just PR it to not not do that?
gollark: You can, as far as I know, emulate pcall-type stuff with temporary coroutines (which is very hacky but oh well), and those would probably not be subject to stack stuff.
gollark: Maybe you could abuse coroutines instead of pcall.
gollark: In what is arguably just *one* of my many poor design decisions, potatOS applies squid's stack trace thing globally by overriding (x)pcall, which really makes `debug.traceback` output less convenient.
gollark: But I don't use it because neither is very good.
