Karnaphuli River

            Karnaphuli River, major watercourse of the Chittagong region, Bangladesh. Rising in the Mizo Hills of Mizoram state, northeastern India, it flows about 170 miles (270 km) south and southwest through the southeastern arm of Bangladesh to empty into the Bay of Bengal, 12 miles (19 km) below the city of Chittagong. In the Chittagong Hill Tracts area it is known as the Kynsa Khyoung. The river is navigable by steamer to Rangamati and is extensively used for transporting cotton and forest products. The river’s Karnaphuli hydroelectric project provides power for tea-, jute-, tobacco-, and cotton-processing industries; the reservoir irrigates a vast agricultural area.

কর্ণফুলি নদীর নামের উৎস সম্পর্কে বিভিন্ন কাহিনী প্রচলিত আছে। কথিত আছে যে, আরাকানের এক রাজকন্যা চট্টগ্রামের এক পাহাড়ি রাজপুত্রের প্রেমে পড়েন। এক জ্যোৎস্নাস্নাত রাতে তারা দুই জন এই নদীতে নৌভ্রমণ উপভোগ করছিলেন। নদীর পানিতে চাঁদের প্রতিফলন দেখার সময় রাজকন্যার কানে গোঁজা একটি ফুল পানিতে পড়ে যায়। ফুলটি হারিয়ে কাতর রাজকন্যা সেটা উদ্ধারের জন্য পানিতে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়েন। কিন্তু প্রবল স্রোতে রাজকন্যা ভেসে যান, তার আর খোঁজ পাওয়া যায় নি। রাজপুত্র রাজকন্যাকে বাঁচাতে পানিতে লাফ দেন, কিন্তু সফল হন নি। রাজকন্যার শোকে রাজপুত্র পানিতে ডুবে আত্মাহুতি দেন। এই করুণ কাহিনী থেকেই নদীটির নাম হয় কর্ণফুলী
