Story of origin of Pravara River Pravara
River is a tributary of Godavari River
and it flows through the western parts of Maharashtra .
Legend has it that Sage Agastya was performing severe Tapas.
He managed to survive only on air and water. He performed this intense
austerity for very long time.
Bhagavan Shiva was greatly pleased by the devotion of Sage
Agastya. He appeared and blessed the Sage.
To help Sage Agastya, Shiva left a stream of Holy River
Ganga at the spot where Sage Agastya was meditating and the stream is now known
as Pravara River
