Q. Where does the west flowing Tapti (Tapi) River originate? (MPPSC AE  2021)
Answer: Multai
Notes: The Tapti River originates from the Multai reserve forest in Madhya Pradesh. It is the second largest west-flowing river in Peninsular India after the Narmada River. The river flows westward and eventually drains into the Arabian Sea at the Gulf of Khambhat. The Tapti is sometimes called the 'twin' or 'handmaid' of the Narmada River. The Multai region is part of Betul district in Madhya Pradesh.
