Kusabhadra River forms the complex of river systems which which form the distributaries of Mahanadi river. It branches off from the Kuakhai, River, which is a distributary of Mahanadi at Balianta and flows in a south western direction for 46 miles before sinking in to the Bay of Bengal near Ramachandi Temple, 15 miles east of Puri in the Khordha District of Orissa.[1][2]
