It has a length of 25 km, and a catchment area of 233 km2 (90 sq mi).[1] Nara River, with a catchment area of 233 sq. km, flows northeast from Paneli to the Nara Dam, which was constructed between 1978-81 across the river near the Nara village and now collects the entire discharge of the river in its reservoir.
