The Deoha is a tributary of the Ramganga river. It rises in the Shivalik Hills and flows through the states of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. It is known by the names of Nanda or Nandhaur in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. Upon its entry into the plains of Uttar Pradesh, the river gets the name of Deoha. Further downstream, it is also known as Garra.
