The river receives the Belan in UP and joins the Ganges at the town of Sirsa, just under 34 kilometres (21 mi) downstream of the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna. The total length of the river is 264 kilometres (164 mi). It has a total drainage area of 16,860 square kilometres (6,510 sq mi). [1] [2]
