Iravati
Character in Hindu mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iravati (Sanskrit: इरावती, IAST: Irāvatī) is a figure in Hindu mythology. She is a daughter of Kadru or Bhadramada and Kashyapa, as featured in the Ramayana.[3][4] She is also associated with a sacred Iravati river, which was one of the names of the river Ravi of modern-day Punjab during the Vedic period.[5] It is possible that the river Irrawaddy of Myanmar traces its name to this name for the Ravi river.[6]
