Q. Consider the following rivers of India: - Krishna River
- Cauvery River
- Godavari River
Which of the above originate in the Western Ghats?
Answer:
1, 2 and 3
Notes: All three rivers—Krishna, Cauvery, and Godavari—originate in the Western Ghats. Krishna begins at Mahabaleshwar (Maharashtra), Cauvery at Talacauvery (Karnataka), and Godavari at Trimbakeshwar (Maharashtra). These points lie within the Western Ghats, which act as a prominent watershed for Peninsular India’s major rivers.
