above sea level, known as Wilson/Sunrise Point.Mahabaleshwar comprises
three villages: Malcolm Peth, Old "Kshetra" Mahabaleshwar and part of
the Shindola village.Mahabaleshwar is the source of the Krishna River
that flows across Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The
legendary source of the river is a spout from the mouth of a statue of a
cow in the ancient temple of Mahadev in Old Mahabaleshwar. Legend has
it that Krishna is Lord Vishnu himself as a result of a curse on the
trimurtis by Savitri. Also, its tributaries Venna and Koyana are said to
be Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma themselves. An interesting thing to
notice is that 4 other rivers come out from the cow's mouth apart from
Krishna and they all travel some distance before merging into Krishna.
These rivers are the Koyana, Venna (Veni), Savitri, and Gayatri.
