Krishna Paksha is a Sanskrit word that means the lunar month's dark or declining half.
In south central India, the Krishna River flows from west to
east.
Its headwaters are on the inland side of the Western Ghats
in Maharashtra.
Before entering the Bay of Bengal, it meanders across
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, fortified by the Bhima and Tungabhadra rivers.
On the Bhima River is the temple of the deity Vithoba at
Pandharpur, which is regarded the most significant holy spot (tirtha) on the
whole river.
