Which river of India is called the Dakshin Ganga because it has a very large drainage basin in peninsular India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Godavari

The correct answer is Godavari, popularly called the Dakshin Ganga or Ganga of the South. It is the longest river of peninsular India and has one of the largest drainage basins among Indian rivers. It rises near Trimbakeshwar in Maharashtra and flows generally eastward across the Deccan Plateau before reaching the Bay of Bengal through a broad delta. Krishna is another major east-flowing peninsular river, but it is shorter and is not normally identified by the title Dakshin Ganga. Kaveri has great cultural and agricultural importance but a smaller basin. Pennar is also an east-flowing river, yet its basin is considerably smaller. The large basin and southern comparison with the Ganga point specifically to Godavari.
