<strong>Mahabaleshwar</strong> is the source of Krishna River that flows across the <strong>Maharashtra</strong>, Karnataka,<br />
Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. The legendary source of the river is a spout from the mouth of a<br />
statue of a <strong>co</strong>w (gom<strong>uk</strong>h) in the ancient temple of Mahadev (Lord Shiva) in the old <strong>Maharashtra</strong>, it is a<br />
faith that Krishna is Lord Vishnu itself due to a curse of Savitri, and Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma are<br />
forming its tributary rivers Venna (Venni) and Koyna by themselves. An interesting thing is that four<br />
more rivers are flowing from the <strong>co</strong>w mouth apart from Krishna, but they all travel some distance<br />
before merging in Krishna. These rivers are Venna, Koyna, Savitri, and Gayatri. If you are travelling by<br />
train then the view of Krishna from the bridge is an i<strong>co</strong>nic view, its intense flow and echo by the<br />
flowing water is amazing.
