Hey there !
Solution:
Well the fact is true.
Godavari is known as the Dakshin Ganga or the Southern Ganga of the country India. This is because it is the second largest river after Ganga.
It originates from the southern part of India, in Maharashtra and flows through the states of Telengana, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Orrisa. It finally merges with the Bay of Bengal in Orrisa.
The length of Godavari is 1465 km. Since it is the longest river and is also used for divine and ritual purposes, it is considered similar to Ganga in South.
Hence Godavari is also known as Dakshin Ganga.
