    The Kaveri river is known as the “Ganga of the South” as it resembles Ganga in the flowing pattern and number of tributaries.

    Revered as the Goddess Kaveriamma, it is also one of India’s seven sacred rivers.

    The river flows through the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. It rises at Talakaveri in the Brahmagiri Hill of the Western Ghats in the state of Karnataka.

    It is the third-largest river in south India after Godavari and Krishna and drains into the Bay of Bengal.

    Hemavati, Harangi, Amaravati, Shimsha are the few important tributaries.
