The Chandravanka

The Chandravanka is an important triburtary of the Krishna. It rises in the Mutukuru extensions of the eastern Nallamalais near the south-west corner of Macherla Range. It initaally contacts Mutukuru village and flows north until it is joined by its tributary the "Edibogula Vagu" at a place where the Atmakur tank project is constructed. Emerging from the tank it takes a north-westerly course until it contacts Macherla and flows to the north. Before it enters the Thumurukota reserve forest, it falls from a height of about 21 meters and is popularly called "Ethipothala" water falls. The Stream continues to run northwards and then joins the Krishna river.
