Kukadi River

The Kukadi River in Takali Haji

Kukadi River (alternate spelling: Kukdi) is a river of Maharashtra, India, a tributary of the Ghod River.[1] Its origin is near Kukdeshwar, where Lord Mahadeva's ancient temple is situated on the origin of Kukadi River. Several notable temples lie on its banks including the Vigneshwara Temple, Ozar and Malanga Devi temple. The Yedgaon Dam dams the river, creating an artificial lake.[2] During the months when it is visible, the riverbed is considered to be a wonder of nature, characterized by rock erosion from water movement and gorges that are gouged with large potholes.[3] Folk tales abound about the river.[3] The river valley is characterized by grape vineyards.[4]
