It has a length of 40 km, and a 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, extoll the confluence (sangam) of Narmada and Kaveri as a holy place (tirtha). Along with its bigger namesake in the South, the Kaveri river of Madhya Pradesh has been mentioned in the Matsya and the Kurma Puranas.{{sfn|Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya|1977|p=272}} The Matsya and the 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 Ganges and Yamuna (that is, at Prayaga), the same accrues to him when he bathes at the Kaveri-sangama. |align = center }} According to the Matsya Purana, Kubera performed a tapas in honour of Shiva at the confluence of Kaveri and Narmada, which made him the lord of yakshas.{{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}} ReferencesBibliography{{ref begin}}
