Aghanashini (transl. One who destroys sins) is a small village situated on the southern banks of River Aghanashini in the state of Karnataka, India.[1][2] The river Aghanashini originates at 'Shankara Honda' in the Sirsi city. It is one of the virgin rivers of the world. The water from this river flows unobstructed through the western ghats range and then joins the Arabian Sea.
