Shivana River is a minor but important tributary of the 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.
