Solution

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is as follows ;

The Godavari is the largest Peninsular river.
It rises from the slopes of the western ghats in the Nasik district of Maharashtra.
It drains into the Bay of Bengal.
Its drainage basin is also the largest among the peninsular rivers.
Basin covers parts of Maharastra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh.
The Godavari is joined by a number of tributaries such as the Purna, the Wardha, the Pranhita, the Manjra, the Wainganga and the Penganaga.
The last three tributaries are very large.
Because of its length and the area it covers, it is also known as the 'Dakshin Ganga'.
