At first, I am just a small stream, but  rainwater and 
other streams join me.
I am the second-longest river in India which travels 
about 1,465 kilometres.

Some important rivers like Manjira, Indravati, and Sabari join me in my journey. 
These small rivers are called tributaries.
I am called "Dakshina Ganga" as I am sacred and flow through southern India.
In Nashik (near my source), people come from all over to bathe in my waters during special 
festivals like the Godavari Pushkaram.

The Life I Hold
I'm a home full of life, from animals to plants. I flow all year, making me a special place for nature's friends!
I flow all year, so I am called a perennial river. 
Some rivers flow only during the rainy season.
As I travel, I pass through forests home to tigers, 
barking deer, the golden gecko, and red 
sandalwood trees.
