Wikipedia description:

The Baitarani (also spelled Vaitarani, Odia: ବୈତରଣୀ) is one of six major rivers of Odisha, India. Venerated in popular epics and legends, the Baitarani River is a source of water for agricultural irrigation. The coastal plain of Odisha has the name of Hexadeltaic region (i.e., the 'Gift of Six Rivers'). These deltas divide the coastal plain into three regions from north to south. The Baitarani, the Mahanadi and the Brahmani rivers form the Middle Coastal Plain, with evidence of past "back bays" and present lakes.
