The name Pranhita is derived from the nature of combined flow of the rivers Painganga and Wainganga. The Painganga River joins Vainganga near Aheri. The river then flows up to Sironcha. The river finally empties into the Godavari River, near Sironcha in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The River course is principally through the dense forests, which are rich in Sagwan or timber trees. Water transport across the river is used between Sironcha(Maharashtra) and Kaleswaram(Andhra Pradesh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_info\"><\/span>Location info:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong>Gadchiroli,Maharashtra,India.<strong>District:&nbsp;<\/strong>Gadchiroli district<strong>Nearest City:&nbsp;<\/strong>Chandrapur.<strong>Best time to visit:<\/strong>&nbsp;October to March<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ClimateWeather\"><\/span><strong>Climate\/Weather:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Max temp in \u00b0C:46.3\u00b0C,Min temp in \u00b0C:5\u00b0C<br>Average rainfall in mm:1510 mm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History\"><\/span>History:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_things_to_do\"><\/span>Interesting things to do:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore the scenic beauty of the beautiful rivers and visit the nearby places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interesting_things_to_Visit\"><\/span>Interesting things to Visit:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adishakti Devi Temple:<\/strong><br>The temple enshrines the idol of Adishakti Devi, found during the excavation conducted in 1986.
