Answer: Tunga River
Notes: The Tunga River is a river in Karnataka. The river is born in the Western Ghats on a hill known as Varaha Parvata at a place called Gangamoola. The river flows through two districts from here in Karnataka, namely the Shimoga District and Chikmagalur District. This river is 147 km long and it merges with the Bhadra River at Koodli, a small town located near Shimoga City, Karnataka. From here onward, this river is given the compound name Tungabhadra. Tungabhadra River flows in the eastwards direction and merges with the Krishna River in Andhra Pradesh. A dam has been built across it at Gajanur, and at Hospet a larger dam has been built across the compound Tungabhadra River.
