Mahanadi River:

A significant river in East Central India is the Mahanadi River.
It has a length of approximately 900 kilometres and drains an area of approximately 132,100 square kilometres (51,000 sq mi) (560 mi).
Besides the Hirakud Dam, Mahanadi is well recognised.
In addition to passing through the states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha, the river eventually empties into the Bay of Bengal.
It is impossible to determine the Mahanadi's exact source because it too is a confluence of numerous mountain streams.
But its furthest headwaters are located 11 kilometers south of Sihawa town in the Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Pharsiya village in Nagri Sihawa, at a height of 442 metres (1,450 feet), or above sea level.
