Detailed explanation-1: -Legend has it that sage Vishwamitra set out to create a new universe and sent Trishanku to rule the new world. However, Lord Indra stalled the attempt which left Trishanku hanging upside down in the mid air. It is assumed that the Karmanasa River was born from the saliva dripping from his mouth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tributaries. The prime tributaries of Karmanasa River are Chandraprabha, Durgavati, Nadi, Karunuti and the Khajuri.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike the sacred Ganga, the Chambal and its bank were regarded as dangerous badlands. The epic Mahabharata speaks of a river that flowed with the blood of slaughtered cows. The inhospitable terrain around the Chambal made it an ideal gathering place for bandits and criminals.
