PERINIAL CAUVARY RIVER- TRICHY

      River Cauveri runs through Trichy and separates Trichy and Srirangam. Cauveri is split into two rivers , Cauveri and Kollidam in Kallanai.Cauveri gracing Srirangam reaches Thiruvanaikoil  a Shiva temple where Shiva is in the form of Water.(Jalagandeshwarar) ( One of the panchaboodhams) . The river cauveri flows under the temple and always graces the temple Deity. When the river flow in Cauveri increases ,the water level in thiruvanaikoil also increases.

 

      The best view of cauveri and kollidam together can be consumed from the Ucchi Pillaiyar temple in Rockfort. Cauveri provides water for irrigation through its distributaries, Uyyakondan and Kudamuruti.In Trichy, the bridge over cauveri between Srirangam and Trichy is one of the main artery of transportation. The roadway bridge will give a fantastic view of the river and hence will be crowded by onlookers if the river is flowing with full ferocity. Every Aadi perrukku, the water level in Cauveri will go up as the water will be released from mettur dam.
