Konaseema

Boat in river Godavari at Kapileswarapuram

Konaseema is an area in Godavari delta of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is surrounded by the Godavari river on two sides and Bay of Bengal on the third. After crossing Rajahmundry, the Godavari splits into two branches which are called Vriddha Gautami (Gautami Godavari) and Vasishta Godavari. Again the Gautami branch splits into two branches namely Gautami and Nilarevu. Similarly the Vasishta splits into two branches named Vasishta and Vainateya. These four branches which join the Bay of Bengal at different places, are forming a delta of length 170 km (110 mi) along the coast of the Bay of Bengal and is called the Konaseema region. [1]
