The Aghanashini River (also historically called the River Merjee) is a river located in India about 29 km south east of Anjediva Island.[1] The village of Aghanashini is to be found at the mouth of the river. The river Aghanashini originates at Shankara Honda in the Sirsi city of Uttara Karnataka. The water from this river flows unobstructed through the Western Ghats range and then joins the Laccadive Sea.
