River valleys have always sustained civilization and ensured prosperity to those who settled in its banks. Thus we have great stories about Nile Valley Civilization, Indus Valley Civilization etc. Tamil Nadu has two great rivers which have sustained its brilliant clans Cauvery which gave rise to typical Tanjore culture and Tamirabarani which gave rise to Thirunelveli culture. Both these rivers nurtured some of the brilliant academicians, artists, industrialists etc.
An Interesting article about one of the perennial rivers of Tamil Nadu... Tamirabarani which flows through Tirunelveli and Thuthukodi districts of Tamil Nadu. "TAMIRAM" in Tamil means "copper". If you take bath in the river in its point of origin you can see a copper glow on your skin. My father used to be so fond of this river he made it a point to take bathe everyday in it in Servalar where he was posted.
The slides presented in the article show rich diversity of flora and fauna ! Anyone having some connection with these two districts would enjoy this write up.

The banks of river supports both " Saivm" ( Those who worship Lord Siva) and " Vaishnavam" (Those who worship Lord Maha Vishnu) . So you can find great temples of Siva as well as Vishnu on the banks of this great river. As someone who had his schooling and college days in the banks of this great river I salute her. I offer my humble pranams for the awakening it has given to me !!!
