==Origin and course==
{{Redirect category shell|
The Kolar arises near the [[Madhya Pradesh]] border in the Chorkhairi West Reserved Forest in the north-east corner of the [[Katol taluka]]<ref name="Census-1981" /> at an elevation of approximately 600 meters, {{Coord|21|28|01|N|78|39|52|E|display=inline}}. It flows southeast for about ten kilometers passing through the Pilkapar range<ref name="Census-1981" /> and then past the village of Pipla on its right.  The river then turns east for four kilometers toward the village of Tidangi, where it enters the Kolar Dam Reservoir. Past the [[Kolar Dam]] it continues east for about four kilometers before turning southeast again just before the village of Hetisurla. Another seven kilometers brings the Kolar River to the center of the town of Saoner (Savner). It continues southeast past the town of [[Patansavangi]], and receives it major tributary, the Chandrabhaga Nadi, from the right (west) at {{Coord|21|19|24|N|79|01|11|E|display=inline}}.
