Mahabaleshwar: Difference between revisions

Mahabaleshwar is the source of the [[Krishna River]] that flows across Maharashtra and [[Andhra Pradesh]]. The legendary source of the river is a spout from the mouth of a statue of a cow in the ancient temple of [[Mahadev]] in Old Mahabaleshwar. Legend has it that Krishna is Lord Vishnu himself as a result of a curse on the [[trimurti]]s by Savitri. Also, its tributaries Venna and Koyana are said to be Siva and Brahma themselves. An interesting thing to notice is that 4 other rivers come out from the cow (bull's) mouth apart from Krishna and they all travel some distance before merging into Krishna. These rivers are the Koyana, Venna(Veni), Savitri, and Gayatri.
