Vaikai Nadhi

 History of Vaikai Nadhi


 

The Vaigai River is one of the ancient rivers. Vaigai has an ancient history. Legend has it that Somasundara perumal drew a line on the ground to quench Kundotharan's thirst for water and quenched his thirst.


In fact, the Vaigai River originates in the Varusanadu Valley in the Vellimalai Elakkai Hills in the Western Ghats, descends into the Cumbum Valley in the northeast and returns to the south east in the Cholavanthan, Madurai, Manamadurai, Paramakudi, filling the large canyon adjacent to Ramanathapuram. It then flows into the Bay of Bengal at the Bagh Strait.


The Vaigai River is joined by mountain streams such as the Sand River and the Descent River. As the Vaigai River flows through the forest, many smaller and larger canals join it. The bamboo that appears in Chaturagiri also joins the Vaigai.


Mullaiyaru is a tributary of the Vaigai River in the Cumbum Valley. The Kotkudiyaru Chinnaru, which originates in the Bodi Hills, joins the rivers like the Koovilangaru Muthukombayaru and joins the Vaigai south of Kunnur below Theni. The Varahan River, which originates in the Palani Hills, joins the Pambarum Vaigai River from Kodaikanal. Thus the Vaigai River is a confluence of several large and small rivers that originate and flow through various places in the Western Ghats.

The Pamba River and the Achan Temple are two Kerala rivers that originate in the Western Ghats and flow to the west. Large amounts of supernatant are available when combined with Vaigai. Researchers say these can be connected by knocking down the mountain Doing so could greatly increase the area of ​​large arable lands irrigated by the Vaigai River. Drought in Madurai and Ramanathapuram districts can be reduced. When will this dream of the farmers come true?
