The River Godavari also called as River Gouthami links to River Ganga and Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva placed River Ganga on his head. The wife of Lord Shiva, Parvathi was angry on Shiva and want to separate Ganga from Lord Shiva. For this she asked her son Vinayaka to do the needful. There was a Rishi called Gouthama on Brahmagiri Mountain. He was lord shiva devotee and was given a boon so that the crops yield out within minutes of planting the seeds at any climatic conditions. With that boon he used have   food daily  for him as well for people who come to his Ashrama.  Once Gouthama planted some seeds in a place and started doing meditation. As it is as at that place crops yield out immediately.  Observing this Vinayaka  created one Maya Cow and kept it in the middle of the plants. The cow started eating all those plants.  After his meditation Gauthama came and saw the cow eating all the crops. Immediately he took one grass blade  and threw it on the Maya

The purification of those sins from river is called as Pushkaram.  Once a Brahmin named Pushakara who was concerned about the sins the rivers are taking from the humans  did penance asking lord Shiva for the Jalathva Siddhi. Pleased with his prayers lord Shiva granted him the boon. Lord Brahma prayed lord Shiva and took the Pushkara Tathva into his Kamandalam. The importance of Pushkara has reached all rivers and Bruhaspathi (Jupiter) asked pushkara for the Pushkaratathvam. But he  did not accepted it.
