all rivers are females…famous song about Ganga [Ganges] river:

Ganga merii maaN kaa naam, baap kaa naam Himaala
[Ganges is my mother, Himalya is my father]

there was a controversy when this song was released. Hindus demonstrated against the song charging the lyric writer of ‘incest’ because Ganges originate from Gangotri in the Himalya range and this it’s Himalya’s daughter, not wife.

the Kaur is right, the river Brahmputra [son of Brahma] is the ONLY river that is considered a male.

What is the difference between Nadi and Darya? Do they use word ‘darya’ for rivers in Hindi?
