Shivnath River

Shivnath River (or Seonath River) is the longest tributary of the Mahanadi River, which joins Changori in the Janjgir-Champa district in Chhattisgarh, India. It has a total course of 290 km. The name comes from the god Shiva in Hinduism.

The river flows in the northeast direction for 300 km from its source then joins the Mahanadi River at Changori near the town Shivrinarayan.

The river was sold by the government of Madhya Pradesh to Radius Water Limited in 1998, to much controversy by locals. Arvind Kejriwal discussed this controversy in his book Swaraj.
