It originates in the Western Ghats near Nasik in Maharashtra and flows eastward across the Deccan Plateau, forming the boundary between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It then turns south and empties into the Bay of Bengal near Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh.
The Godavari is a major source of irrigation and drinking water for millions of people in India. It is also a popular tourist destination, known for its scenic beauty and religious significance.
