Iravati (Sanskrit: इरावती, IAST: Irāvatī) is a figure in Hindu mythology. She is a daughter of Kadru or Bhadramada and Kashyapa, as featured in the Ramayana. She is also associated with a sacred Iravati river, which was one of the names of the river Ravi of modern-day Punjab during the Vedic period. It is possible that the river Irrawaddy of Myanmar traces its name to this name for the Ravi river.
