The Malaprabha River, which flows through parts of the Guledgudda taluk in Karnataka, has dried up recently, causing severe hardship for people living along its banks.
About Malaprabha River:
It is an important tributary of the Krishna River and flows through Karnataka.
Course:
The river originates in the Western Ghats, in the Sahyadri hill range, at Kanakumbi village in the Belgaum district.
The Shri Mauli Devi templemarks the birthplace of Malaprabha at Kanakumbi; the place has a long history going back to prehistoric times, and it's a pilgrimage center.
From there, it flows eastward and then northeast, finally merging with the Krishna River at the confluence point known as Kudala Sangama in the Bagalkot district.
Malaprabha's main tributaries are Bennihalla, Hirehalla, and Tuprihalla.
There is a dam known as Renukasagar built on this river.
It is home to several ancient temples and heritage sites, including the renowned Aihole, Pattadakal, and Badami temple complexes.
