Indravati and Pranahita are major left-bank tributaries of the Godavari. Vamsadhara is an independent east-flowing river that meets the Bay of Bengal, and the Pennar rises in Karnataka and flows separately to the sea; neither joins the Godavari. Hence only rivers 2 and 3 are tributaries. ([edukemy.com](https://edukemy.com/blog/upsc-prelims-2015-question-paper-with-answer-key-general-studies-paper-1/?utm_source=openai))
