The Karha is a river flowing through the Indian state of Maharashtra. Its basin lies in the parts of Pune. The cities of Baramati, Saswad and Jejuri, the place of Lord Khandoba, lie on the banks of this river. The Karha is a tributary of the Nira River. It is said that the Karha's water flows fastest amongst all tributaries of the River Nira. Also there is a dam called Nazare situated on Karha.
The area around Baramati taluka suffers from an acute water crisis each year as the Karha river goes dry.
