The ancient river Kali Ganga, now without a current. At present it is known as the Kali river. It was on this river that Fakir Lalon Shah came floating on a raft to Cheuria in Kushtia.
The Kali Ganga is a famous ancient river of history. The river originated as a branch of the Gorai river, which flows past Kushtia town. Passing by Kushtia town, the river flows on through the courtyard of the shrine of Fakir Lalon Shah and past Bandabazar, Kamalapur Bazar, Khal Bazar, Banshgram Bazar and Harinarayanpur Bazar.
In days gone by, a current flowed through this river, boats plied it, and fishermen caught fish. But as the river has now silted up, water hyacinth floats on it. At present, various stretches are leased out through the Kushtia District Administration for fish farming. Besides, various kinds of natural fish are found in this river, still delicious to eat. To this day, many families earn their livelihood by depending on this river.
