    Krishna River

    Just opposite to the name, River Krishna is supposed to be one of the most ferious rivers of India. Contributing to its feriousness is the River Tungbhadra, which is supposed to be full of high tides. The Krishna River becomes ferious especially between the months of June and August. Other Rivers which contribute to the feriousness are Koyna, Bhima, Kundali, Malaprabha, Ghataprabha, Yelra, Warna, Dindi, Musi, and Dudhganga River.

    The River Krishna comes out of a spout from the mouth of a statue of a cow in the ancient temple of Mahadev in Mahabaleshwar. As per the legend Krisha River is the Avtar of Lord Vishnu. This condition of Lord Vishnu is because of curse of Savitri whom he enchantised by transforming himself as her husband.

    The two rivers Veena and Koyana are supposed to be Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati. The four other rivers, viz: Koyana, Venna, Savitri and Gayatri, come out from the bull's mouth apart from Krishna and they all travel some distance before merging into Krishna.


    Savour of Ailments – Most of the soil found around the banks of Krishna River are black soils, red soils, laterite and lateritic soils, alluvium, mixed soils, red and black soils and saline and alkaline soils. Out of these the black soil is especially used in various Ayurvedic Medications to treat various skin diseases.
