Mandovi
The Mandovi River, is described to be the lifeline of the state of Goa, India. The river, with its cerulean waters is also known as the Gomati in a few places, has its origin at Bhimgad in the Western Ghats. Mandovi, along with the Zuari River, form the two primary rivers in the state. In the state of Goa, the river has a length of 77 kilometres.
The Mandovi enters Goa from the north via the Sattari taluka. The Mandovi flows through Cumbarjua, Divadi and Chodné along the way. The waters of the Mandovi and Zuari both flush out into the Arabian Sea at a common point at Cabo Aguada forming the Marmogoa harbour. Panaji, the state capital and Old Goa, the former capital of Goa, are both situated on the left bank of the Mandovi. The river Mapusa is a tributary of the Mandovi.
