The '''Auranga River''' (localised name: Oranga River) flows through the [[Latehar district|Latehar]] and [[Palamu district|Palamu]] districts in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Jharkhand]].<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.india9.com/i9show/Auranga-River-69092.htm | title =Auranga River |work= |publisher = india9 |accessdate = 2010-04-29 }}</ref><br />

==Course==<br />
The Auranga originates near Soheda in a pass. It descends from the [[Chota Nagpur plateau#Ranchi plateau|Ranchi plateau]] and pursues a winding course in a north-westerly direction for a distance of about {{convert|80|km|mi}}, till it flows into the [[North Koel River|Koel]] near Kechki {{convert|10|mi|km|disp=flip|0}} south of [[Daltonganj]].<ref name=gazatte>{{cite web|url = http://www.palamu.nic.in/gazette/general_gazette.doc|title = Gazetteer of Palamu District|accessdate = 2010-04-29|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110721172839/http://www.palamu.nic.in/gazette/general_gazette.doc|archive-date = 2011-07-21|url-status = dead}}</ref><br />
<br />
It passes through a large valley, the southern face of which is formed by the Kumandih hills. Its bed widens rapidly and by the time it reaches the [[Palamu Fort]] it has attained a considerable size. Where the ruins of these two forts overlook it, the channel is crowded with huge masses of [[gneiss]]. Owing to its rocky bed, navigation is impossible in the rains, and at other times the supply of water is insufficient for even the smallest craft.<ref name=gazatte/><br />

Its principal tributaries are the Sukri and Ghaghri.<ref name=gazatte/><br />
