The Ministry of Jal Shakti has shared a video of the Krishna River, the third-longest in the country, after the Ganga and Godavari. It has a total course of about 1,290 km.

The informational video talks about Krishna’s origin in the Western Ghats and charts its entire path from west to east. The ministry tweeted, “The history of rivers in our country is very old, every river has its own story… Krishna is an important river that flows through peninsular India.

Let us understand Krishna river in detail through this video.”

Krishna’s journey begins in western Maharashtra near the town of Mahabaleshwar, not far from the coast of the Arabian Sea. It flows east into Karnataka state.

The Krishna has a large and highly fertile delta continuous with that of the Godavari River to the northeast. Of its 13 major tributaries, the principal ones are Ghataprabha River, Malaprabha River, Bhima River, Tungabhadra River and Musi River.

This river is held as sacred by Hindus. The Krishna Pushkaram fair which is held once in 12 years takes place on the banks of the Krishna river. There are many pilgrimage places in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh on the course of the river.
