Musi River




Musi River, a tributary of Krishna River, originates from Anantagiri Hills and is 90 km west of Hyderabad. In 1920, Osmansagar reservoir was constructed across the river at Gandipet village. The river penetrates Hyderabad near Rajendranagar, flowing west to east. During its course, it runs about 20 km within the city limits. After passing downstream through 150 km, it joins River Krishna at Wadapally in Nalgonda District. Musi River is also the bowl for water festivals such as boating races, decorated boating contest and river swimming tournament.
