The Bay of Bengal is a bay that forms the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean. It resembles a triangle in shape, and is bordered on the east by Malay Peninsula, and on the west by India. On the northern tip of the "bay" lie the Indian state of West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh, thus the name. The southern extremes reach the island country of Sri Lanka, and the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Many major rivers of India flow west to east into the Bay of Bengal: in the north, the Ganges River (or Ganga), Meghna and Brahmaputra rivers, and in the south Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri (sometimes written as Cauvery) rivers. The Sundarbans mangrove forest is formed at the delta of the Ganga, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal. The Ayeyarwady River of Myanmar also flows into the bay.

The Bay of Bengal is a sea. It is not part of land and hence, cannot be divided into states. The Bay of Bengal lies to the South East of India. The Andaman and Nicobar lies in this sea.

Swap, the bay of Bengal is a bay as it is surrounded by land on three sides and is not as narrow as a gulf. It doesn't fall in any state as its a part of the Indian Ocean. To its left are Orissa and AP. To its east are Thailand and Myanmar. To its north is the Indian state of West Bengal and the country Bangladesh which gave it its name. I hope it clears your doubt.
||Good Luck||
