The source of the Godavari is northeast of Bombay (Mumbai in the local Marathi language) in the state of Maharashtra, and the river follows a southeasterly course for 1,400 kilometers to its mouth on the Andhra Pradesh coast. The Godavari River basin area is second in size only to the Ganga; its delta on the east coast is also one of the country's main rice-growing areas. It is known as the "Ganga of the South," but its discharge, despite the large catchment area, is moderate because of the medium levels of annual rainfall, for example, about 700 millimeters at Nasik and 1,000 millimeters at Nizamabad

If you were asked to name a great river of India, chances are that your answer would be 'the Ganga' or 'the Ganges'. Did you know, however, that there is a river known as the 'Dakshin Ganga' or 'Southern Ganges'? This is the mighty river, Godavari.

Actually, Ganga of the South is a faction of the better known gang 'the crips'. They keep a low profile by mixing amongst the general public in major southern cities in the USA. Their gang colors are blue and pink.
