Dharmapuri is at a distance of about 28-30 km from the town of Jagityal on the banks of Godavari River. This river normally flows from west to east but at this point, it flows north to south. The river is therefore referred to as Dakshina Vahini which means South Flowing or also called Telivaha. There are number of ghats such as Brahma Gundam, Yama Gundam, Satyavathi Gundam, and Pala Gundam near Dharmapuri, where people can take a holy bath. The temple of Lord Sri Laxmi Narashimha Swamy is famous here.
