The Gandikota canyon of South India was created by the Pennar river.

– Gandikota is a village situated on the right bank of the Penna river (also known as Pennar) in the YSR Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh.
– The famous canyon at Gandikota is formed where the Penna river cuts through the relatively flat landscape of the Eastern Ghats, creating a deep gorge resembling the Grand Canyon in the USA.

The Pennar River is one of the major rivers of South India, originating in the Nandi Hills in Karnataka and flowing through Andhra Pradesh before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The canyon at Gandikota is a significant geological feature and a popular tourist attraction.
