The Godavari River system is one of the significant river basins within the Peninsular drainage system of India.
The Godavari River and its numerous tributaries flow through the central and southeastern parts of the Indian subcontinent, shaping fertile plains and supporting diverse ecosystems.
With a total length of about 1,465 kilometres, the Godavari is the second-longest river in India.
The Godavari River is the largest river in Peninsular India.
It is known as the Dakshin Ganga or Vridha Ganga (old Ganga) because of its age, size, and length.
It is navigable in the delta region.
