Encyclopedia > Cauvery


The Cauvery (sometimes written as Kaveri) is one of the major rivers of southern India. It arises from hill streams in the Western Ghats of Kodagu. The temple at Talakaveri is traditionally considered as the point of origin of this river. The Cauvery flows west to east through the South Indian states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu before emptying into the Bay of Bengal near Poompuhar, a historic town.


The Cauvery river is the locus of a water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. That dispute is complicated by, and mirrors, political issues of resentment and one-upmanship between the peoples of the two states.

The Kaveri River (also spelled Cauvery or Kavery) is one of the great rivers of India and is considered sacred by the Hindus.
Hence it is said that even the holy Ganges resorts underground once in the year to the source of the Cauvery, to purge herself from the pollution contracted from the crowd of sinners who have bathed in her waters.
The Amaravati River joins the cauvery at a place called Thirumukkoodaloor near Karur.Sweeping past the historic rock of Tiruchirapalli, it breaks at the island of Srirangam into two channels, which enclose between them the delta of Thanjavur (Tanjore), the garden of South India.
