Ghaghara, Kosi, and Gandak are major tributaries of the Ganga. Mahadayi (Mandovi) originates in the Western Ghats, flows through Karnataka and Goa, and drains into the Arabian Sea. Therefore, it is not a tributary of the Ganga.

Mahadayi (Mandovi) → Arabian Sea
Ghaghara, Kosi, Gandak → Ganga tributaries
