The principal tributaries of the Bhima River that drain western Pune
are the Bhima River, the Indrayani River, and the Mula-Mutha River.
Following the Indrayani, the Dhomal River enters from the right
near the Wadhu Budruk settlement in about 4 km of downstream
distance. The Bhima travels 3.5 kilometres before passing beneath the
SH 60 bridge in Koregaon Bhima.

The Bhima meanders northwest from Vittalwadi, and 14 kilometres
after the Vel River enters from the left, at the Parodi hamlet, the
Kamania River enters from the left. Following the Kamania River’s
entry, the river meanders 23 km back southeast before meeting the
Mula-Mutha River in the settlement of Ranjangaon Sandas, which
is where the two rivers meet from the right. The river is known as the
Bhima river as of this point.
