Chennai: ~500 Miles South of the Godavari River

The Godavari River flows across central India, emptying into the Bay of Bengal near Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. Measuring roughly 500 miles (800 km) south along the coast brings you to Chennai (Madras), capital of Tamil Nadu.

Chennai lies on the Coromandel Coast, a major cultural, economic, and transportation hub. The straight-line distance from the Godavari delta to Chennai is approximately 450–500 miles depending on the reference point.
