The Bay of Bengal is the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean, bounded
on the west and northwest by India, on the north by Bangladesh, and
on the east by Myanmar and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India.
Its southern limit is a line between Sangaman Kanda, Sri Lanka and the
north westernmost point of Sumatra (Indonesia). It is the largest water
region called a bay in the world. There are countries dependent on the
Bay of Bengal in South Asia and Southeast Asia. In ancient India, Bay
of Bengal was known as Kalinga Sagar. Later during the British India, it
came forth as the Bay of Bengal after the historic Bengal region, as the
Port of Kolkata served as the gateway to the Crown rule in India. Cox's
Bazar, the longest sea beach in the world and Sundarbans, the largest
mangrove forest and the natural habitat of the Bengal tiger, are located
along the bay.
