About 'River Bharathapuzha'

Bharathapuzha, also known as Nila is the second largest river in Kerala. The largest is Periyar. It originates in the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu and flows west through the three districts of Palakkad, Thrissur and Malappuram and finally meets the Arabian Sea at Ponnani. There are many irrigation projects and dams in the river. The Bharathapuzha has cultural significance in the history of Kerala. Apart from other reasons, it has been a great source of inspiration for many a writer of Kerala. The famed Kerala Kalamandalam, centre for performing arts, is situated on its banks.

For every Malayali, who lives in Kerala or Outside Kerala, Bharathapuzha always remains with a nostalgic feeling. The river is the lifeline of many cities and villages in the Palakkad,Thrisur and Malappuram districts. Also another thing which makes all malayalis proud, the great Kerala Kalamandalam, initiated by Mahakavi Vallathol Narayana Menon, stands as the cultural fort of Kerala, is also situated on the banks of Bharathapuzha..

This video on Bharathapuzha, beautifully pictorised, is really a great work.. Congratulations to all..
