Shivnath originates from Panabaras Hill, 624 metres (2,047 ft) above sea level in the Ambagarh Chowki division of Rajnandgaon District of Chhattisgarh.
The river flows in the north-east direction for 300 kilometres (190 mi) from its source and joins the Mahanadi River near the town Shivrinarayan.[1][2][3][4]
The river was sold by the government of Madhya Pradesh to Radius Water Limited in 1998, to much controversy by locals.[5] Arvind Kejriwal discussed this controversy in his book Swaraj.
