Krishna River

River running from west to east in south
central India. Its headwaters lie in
Maharashtra on the inland side of the
Western Ghats. It meanders through
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, fortified by the Bhima River and the
Tungabhadra River, before entering the
sea in the Bay of Bengal. The temple of
the god Vithoba in the town of
Pandharpur, considered the most
important sacred site (tirtha) on the
whole river, lies on the Bhima River.
