- AGodavari
- BPeriyar
- CTungabhadra
- DCauvery
Explanation
The Periyar rises in the Western Ghats and flows west into the Arabian Sea — it is Kerala's longest river. The Godavari, the Tungabhadra (a Krishna tributary) and the Cauvery all flow east into the Bay of Bengal. Hence the Periyar is the west-flowing river.
