Which river of India is also called the Dakshin Ganga?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Godavari

Godavari is popularly called the Dakshin Ganga, or Ganga of the south. This name reflects its great length, large drainage basin, and major importance to the people and agriculture of peninsular India. It is the longest river of the Indian peninsula and carries water across a large part of central and southern India.

The Godavari rises near Nashik in Maharashtra and flows generally eastward before entering the Bay of Bengal through its delta. Krishna, Pennar, and Vaigai are also important peninsular rivers, but they are not commonly given the title Dakshin Ganga. Therefore, option B, Godavari, is correct. The title is a geographical and cultural description, not a claim that it is a branch of the Ganga.
