Like many other seasonal Indian rivers, the Mahanadi too is a combination of many mountain streams and thus its precise source is impossible to pinpoint. However its farthest headwaters lie from Pharsiya village above sea level south of Nagri town in Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh.〔(Imperial Gazetteer2 of India, Volume 16, page 431 - Imperial Gazetteer of India - Digital South Asia Library )〕〔(and Water Resources of India by Sharad K. Jain, Pushpendra K. Agarwal, Vijay P. Singh )〕 The hills here are an extension of the Eastern Ghats and are a source of many other streams which then go on to join the Mahanadi.
For the first of its course, the Mahanadi flows in a northerly direction and drains the Raipur district and touches eastern portions of Raipur city. It is a rather narrow river at this stage and the total width of its valley does not exceed 500–600 metres.
