Shivana River is a minor but important tributary of Godavari lying entirely within Aurangabad district,[1] Maharashtra.

It rises in the Kannad taluka,[2] from the south-western slope of the Ajanta Hills which also holds the origin to another major tributary Purna.

The river collects streams draining the Gautala Wildlife Sanctuary from the southern slopes of the Ajanta Hills.

[3] The reservoir thus formed provides a water resource used for human consumption and is rich in fish diversity.

The river ends itself by merging seamlessly into the back waters of the NathSagar Reservoir formed by the Jayakwadi Dam on the river Godavari.It goes through Mandsaur district and touch the statue of Pashupatinath god in rainy season.
