The Godavari River is one of India's major rivers, stretching about 1,465 miles (2,960 km). It originates from the state of Maharashtra and flows eastward across central India, passing through states like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. Known as the "Ganges of the South," it sustains millions of people through agriculture, drinking water, and cultural practices. The river's basin is rich in biodiversity and supports numerous temples and festivals, playing a vital role in the region’s ecological and cultural landscape.
