Manimala River, or Manimalayaar in the local language of Malayalam, flows through the central part of Kerala. The 92 km (57 mile) long water body is one of the 44 rivers that crisscross the small state of 38,863 sq km (15,005 sq miles). For a comparison, India's land area is 3.2 million sq km (1.2 sq miles).

I love rivers and I love bridges. That's a nice looking arch-bridge. How many arches does it take to span the river?
ReplyDeleteHi Red - The river at that point isn't very wide. I don't remember exactly how many arches are there. I think it's three.

ReplyDeletethis is beautiful! YAM xx
Hi Yamini - This central part of the state is known for hilly terrain and lush greenery.
DeleteThanks for sharing this beautiful pic. If I am not mistaken, Kerala has the largest number of rivers compared to any state in India.
ReplyDeleteEverything is so green.
ReplyDeleteI love Kerala with its verdant surroundings, water bodies ,rivers all over and famed backwaters ,places of worship in every village and clean people.It is rightly called the God’s own country.
ReplyDeleteHi KP - Thanks for comments. One thing about the places of worship is that they are all of very traditional architecture. Tamil Nadu too is also a bit similar in that respect.
DeleteYa the state is so green... I always love traveling to Kerala :)

DeleteWow, the reflection is so clear. It looks like a green-tinted mirror.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I want to visit. Be well!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, Pradeep! Is any of it navigable? Wonderful scenery. For a shortish river, it's very wide! What is its source?
