'''Kaveri''' is a tributary of the [[Narmada River]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], India. It has a length of 40 km, and a [[drainage basin|catchment area]] of 954 km².{{sfn|K. Sankaran Unni|1996|p=16}}

The Kaveri river meets the Narmada river near [[Mandhata]] ([[Omkareshwar]]), around 882 km from Narmada's source.{{sfn|K. Sankaran Unni|1996|p=16}} The ''Narmada Mahatmya'' texts, which glorify the Narmada river, extol the [[confluence]] (''sangam'') of Narmada and Kaveri as a holy place (''[[tirtha (Hinduism)|tirtha]]''). Along with its [[Kaveri River|bigger namesake]] in the South, the Kaveri river of Madhya Pradesh has been mentioned in the ''[[Matsya Purana|Matsya]]'' and the ''[[Kurma Purana|Kurma]]'' Puranas.{{sfn|Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya|1977|p=272}}

The ''Matsya'' and the ''[[Padma Purana|Padma]]'' Puranas declare:{{sfn|Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya|1977|p=272}}

{{Quote box
|quote = The junction of the Kaveri and Narmada is famed throughout the world; it destroys all sins; one should bathe there because the Kaveri is very sacred and the Narmada is a great river; whatever benefit a man may gain between the [[Triveni Sangam|Ganges and Yamuna]] (that is, at [[Prayaga]]), the same accrues to him when he bathes at the Kaveri-sangama.

}}

According to the ''Matsya Purana'', [[Kubera]] performed a ''[[tapas (Sanskrit)|tapas]]'' in honour of Shiva at the confluence of Kaveri and Narmada, which made him the lord of [[yaksha]]s.{{sfn|Jürgen Neuß|2012|p=155}} The ''Kurma Purana'' also similarly praises the confluence, declaring that it destroys guilts. It recommends that one should bathe and worship [[Shiva]] at this confluence.{{sfn|Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya|1977|p=112}} The ''[[Agni Purana]]'' also mentions a ''Kaveri sangama'', which [[F. E. Pargiter]] identifies with the Kaveri-Narmada confluence.{{sfn|Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya|1977|p=272}}
