Musi River, a tributary of
Krishna River, originates from Anantagiri Hills and is 90 km west of
Hyderabad. In 1920, Osmansagar reservoir was constructed across the river at Gandipet village. The river penetrates Hyderabad near Rajendranagar, flowing west to east. During its course, it runs about 20 km within the city limits. After passing downstream through 150 km, it joins River Krishna at Wadapally in
Nalgonda District. Musi River is also the bowl for water festivals such as boating races, decorated boating contest and river swimming tournament.
