This unique river originates from the woods.
The river Narmada is considered the destroyer of all sins, which originates from the woods of Amarkantak.
The River Narmada is considered to be the most ancient saintly river. There are many devotional places and cities situated on the bank of the river Narmada.
It is the largest west-flowing river of the Peninsula and rises near the Amarkantak range of mountains in Madhya Pradesh.
After passing through Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, it reaches the Gulf of Cambay. The river's entire length from source to sea is 1312 kilometers (815 miles).
The personification of the Narmada River is the goddess Narmada. She is claimed to have originated from lord Shiva's sweat, who was performing penance on Mount Riksha, by mythology. She is therefore seen as the divinity's daughter.
These Banalingams, which are honored as Swayambu (self-manifested) Lingams, are Narmada's special gift to humanity.
In addition to sustaining a wide variety of aquatic life, the Narmada River also supports teak and hardwood forests that are older than those observed in the Himalayas.
