Chandrabhaga River (Purna River tributary)
Chandrabhaga is one of the major rivers in Amravati district of Maharashtra. As a tributary of the Purna, it forms a part of the Tapti-Purna river system.
The main stream of the river rises down the Vairat Plateau in the Chikhaldara hills[1] and takes an eastward course draining the south slopes of Chikhaldara and Gawilgarh plateaus.[2] dam is built on the river as it comes out of the valley. The river takes a more southward turn from the dam and passes through the town of Daryapur before it meets with river Purna on the border of Amravati and Akola district. Bhuleshwari is a chief tributary of Chandrabhaga that meets it before Daryapur. Sapan and Bichan rivers flowing through Achalpur and Paratwada are other affluent streams.[2]
