Mahadayi river
Mahadayi or Mhadei, the west-flowing river, originates in Bhimgad Wildlife Sanctuary (Western Ghats), Belagavi district of Karnataka.
It is essentially a rain-fed river also called Mandovi in Goa.
It is joined by a number of streams to form the Mandovi which is one of two major rivers (the other one is Zuari river) that flows through Goa.
The river travels 35 km in Karnataka; 82 km in Goa before joining the Arabian Sea.
It has several tributaries, namely Rogaro, Kushavati, Nanorem, Nanuz, Valvota, and Mapusa.
Panaji, the state capital, and the town of Old Goa are situated on the left bank of the Mandovi River.
The Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is located on the island of Chorao in the Mandovi River.
