The term Uttarvahini Ganga is used to refer to places where the Ganges river has a northward flow.

For the majority of its route, the Ganges flows in a generally southeasterly direction, from the gangotri glacier to its delta emptying into the Bay of Bengal. However, there are several places where the meandering of the river leads to a northerly flow, which is considered auspicious among Hindus.^[1]
