Śrī Brahma Kamandalu Ganga (Karha river)

There is an interesting story regarding the creation of the Karha river, also known as the Brahma Kamandalu Ganga. Bhagwan Brahma once came to worship Śrī Mayureśvara. After the worship while performing the Circumambulation, Brahma accidentally touched his Kamandalu (a water-pot of Gods, ascetics, and saints), causing it to fall to the ground and the holy water inside it begin to flow. Bhagwan Brahma began to replenish the water into his Kamandalu with his mystic powers, but the skies echoed, saying that this water should flow as one river will emerge from it. Since it emerged from Brahma’s Kamandalu, the river became known as the Brahma Kamandalu Ganga. This river is commonly referred to as the Karha River. It starts near Saswad, where there is a shrine of Lord Brahma. Śrī Kṣetra Morgaon is its center, there is a shrine of Lord Śāṃkara named Madhyameśvara, and farther on, where it meets the river Neera, there is a place of Lord Viṣṇu at the confluence.
