Girna River


The Girna River is a river in the state of Maharashtra in western India. It gets its name from the goddess Giraja, also known as Parvati.
The Girna originates at Kem Peak in the Western Ghats mountain range and flows east across Nashik District—where it is joined by the Mausam River—and into Malegaon. It then swings north to join the Tapti River. The biggest dams on it are Chankapur Dam and Girna Dam. The river basin lies on the Deccan Plateau, and its valley has fertile soil that is intensively farmed.
