The Indravati ( Odia : ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରାବତୀ ନଦୀ, Hindi : इंद्रावती नदी, Marathi : इन्द्रावती, Telugu : ఇంద్రావతి నది) is an approx. 585 km long left tributary of the Godavari , the second longest river in India .
course
The Indravati has its source in the Dandakaranya chain in the eastern Ghats in the Indian state of Odisha . On the upper reaches it is dammed by the Indravati dam . Much of the water is diverted to the Hati , a tributary of the Tel , for power generation and irrigation . Below the dam, the Indravati flows west past the cities of Nabarangpur , Kotpad and Jagdalpur to Chhattisgarh , where it flows through one of the most pristine and beautiful regions of the country in the Bastar district . At the confluence of the right tributaries Pamulgatami and Parlkota , it turns south and forms the border between the central Indian states of Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh for the last 125 km . After about 585 km it joins the Godavari from the north.
Attractions
The Indravati is the lifeline of the Bastar district . To the west of Jagdalpur, the river forms the well-known Chitrakot waterfall , the widest waterfall in India. On the banks of the river in the Dantewara district is Indravati National Park , the most visited national park in Chhattisgarh.
