# Which Indian rivers are classified as east-flowing versus west-flowing?

I'm studying physical geography for an upcoming quiz, and I keep mixing up the rivers that drain into the Bay of Bengal versus the Arabian Sea. Is there a reliable way to remember which major rivers belong to each category, especially when tributaries complicate the main stream?
