The Ahu River starts its journey from the Tonkra hill in Agar Taluk of Shajapur District.[1] It flows through the north-western boundary of the district, forming a natural border with Jhalawar District, Rajasthan.[2] The river's course is characterized by its meandering path as it winds through the landscape before merging with the Kali Sindh River.[3]

Geography

edit

The Ahu River flows through the scenic landscapes of Shajapur District and Jhalawar District. Its waters originate from the heights of the Tonkra hill and eventually find their way to the Kali Sindh River.[4]

Tributaries

edit

The Ahu River is relatively small and does not have major tributaries of its own. Its significance lies in its role as a contributor to the Kali Sindh River.[3]
