The rivers Indus, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Cauvery all exhibit a dendritic drainage pattern, which is the most common and widespread type of drainage system. This pattern is characterized by a tree-like structure, with tributaries branching off a central trunk stream. These rivers flow through regions where the geology and topography support the development of such a network.
