River, southern India. Rising in southwestern Karnataka state, it flows southeast some 475 mi (765 km) to enter the Bay of Bengal. East of the city of Mysore it forms the island of Sivasamudram, on either side of which are scenic falls that descend about 320 ft (100 m). The river is the source for an extensive irrigation system and of hydroelectric power. It is considered one of India's sacred rivers.
