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.
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?
