– 2. Nagavali River: Rises in the Eastern Ghats near Lakhbahal village in the Bhawanipatna block of Kalahandi district, Odisha, at an elevation of about 1300 meters. It flows through Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. So, it rises from the Eastern Ghats.
– 3. Subarnarekha River: Rises from the Chota Nagpur Plateau near Piskaji village, about 16 km west of Ranchi, Jharkhand. It does not originate from the Eastern Ghats.
– 4. Vamsadhara River: Rises in the Eastern Ghats in the hilly region of Lanjigarh block, Kalahandi district, Odisha. It flows through Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. So, it rises from the Eastern Ghats.
