Question

The Indian city of Nashik is situated on the banks of the river

• A. Mahanadi
• B. Tapi
• C. Godavari
• D. Krishna

Hint:

The Godavari is often called the "Dakshina Ganga" (Ganges of the South).
Remembering that the Godavari originates at Triambakeshwar near Nashik instantly tells you which river flows through the city.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall Nashik's location.
Nashik (also spelled Nasik) is a major city in Maharashtra, India, and holds great religious significance as one of the four Kumbh Mela sites.
Step 2: Identify the river.
The Godavari river, often called the "Dakshin Ganga" or Ganges of the South, flows through Nashik and is the second longest river in India.
Step 3: Eliminate wrong options.
Mahanadi flows through Chhattisgarh and Odisha, Tapi flows through Surat, and Krishna does not pass through Nashik.
\[ \boxed{\text{Godavari}} \]
