Manjira in Depth
Description
The river's origin is near the Gavalwadi village of the Beed district. The river flows from the northern boundaries of the Osmanabad district, cutting across the Latur district, goes to the Bidar district and finally Telangana. It flows on the Balaghat plateau along with its tributaries: Terna, Tawarja and Gharni. The other three tributaries of Manjara are Manyad, Teru and Lendi which flow on the northern plains.
The final stretch of the river forms the border between Maharashtra (west) and Telangana (east). Manjira, along with the Haridra River, merges with Godavari River at the border.
Terna River: This is the main tributary of Manjara, which flows on the southern boundary of the Ausa Taluka.
Manyad: This river has its origin at Dharmapuri, and flows through the Ahmadpur Talukat.
