The Indravati River's starting point, found to be the Ghats of Dandakaranya, ranges from a hilltop village Mardiguda of Thuamula Rampur Block in the Kalahandi district of the state of Odisha.

Due to the amalgamation of three streams, the River follows a westerly path and enters Jagadalpur in the state of Chhattisgarh.

The river moves from here in a southern direction, before eventually uniting with the Godavari at the borders of the states of Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Telangana.

On other side, due to disband or separation Indrani cried sorrowfully and expressed her pain to the people, who gathered there.

And, Indra and Udanti rivers are also flowing there separately, without meeting each other due to offense of Indrani.

The river Indravati rises at an elevation of 914 metres (2,999 ft) in the Kalahandi district of Odisha on the western slopes of the Eastern Ghats.

[1] The Indravati sub-basin covers a total area of about 40,625 square kilometres (15,685 sq mi).

The important right bank tributaries of the Indravati are Bhaskel, Boarding, Narangi, Nimbra (Parlkota), Kotri and Bandia.

Indravati National Park and Tiger Reserves are located in the adjoining region of Chhattisgarh state.
