The Indrayani River originates in Kurvande village near Lonavla, a hill station in the Sahyadri mountains of Maharashtra, India. It is a rain fed river and flows east through the Hindu pilgrimage centers of Dehu and Alandi to meet the Bhima river. It follows a course mostly north of the city of Pune. It is revered as a holy river and is associated with religious figures such as Sant Tukaram and Dnyaneshwar.

There is a hydroelectric dam called Valvan Dam on the Indrayani at Kamshet.
