The Indrayani River originates in Kurvande village near Lonavala, a hill station in the Sahyadri mountains of Maharashtra, India.[1] It is a rain-fed river and flows east through the Hindu pilgrimage centers of Dehu and Alandi to meet the Bhima river. It follows a course mostly north of the city of Pune.[2] It is revered as a holy river by Hindus and is associated with Hindu religious figures such as Sant Tukaram and Dnyaneshwar.
There is a hydroelectric dam, the Valvan Dam, on the Indrayani at Lonavala.[3]
