Explanation

Gersoppa Falls (Jog Falls) is formed by the Sharavati river plunging about 253 m in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, among India's highest waterfalls. The Lohit flows in Arunachal Pradesh, the Tungabhadra is a Krishna tributary of the Deccan, and the Krishna flows east to the Bay of Bengal — none forms Gersoppa. Hence the Sharavati is the answer.
