Vaigai River

Vaigai River, river in Tamil Nadustate, southern India, flowing 150 miles (240 km) generally southeast. Rising in the Varushanad Hills of western Tamil Nadu, it initially flows northeast through the Kambam and Varushanad valleys. In its central reaches the Vaigai flows eastward into the Vaigai reservoir at Narasingapuram. Near Sholavandan it bends to the southeast, passing Madurai on its course to its mouth on Palk Strait, which separates the southeastern coast of India from Sri Lanka. The Vaigai River rarely floods; its chief tributaries are the Siruliar, Theniar, Varaha Nadi, and Mangalar

Vaigai river, which was born on meenakshi Kalyanam as per chokkanathar's guest requested water after his kalyana virundhu.

The very biggest festival in madurai is KalAzhagar Thiruvizha. During this time all peoples are or in vaigai river.

One song has a lyrics line in tamil,

வந்தது வந்தது கோடி சனம் நம்ம வைகை நதிக்கரை பத்தலயே.

Always a beautiful memory behind this river with friends. Playing cricket and spending time in river side is always a golden memories.
Could have kept the river as possible as clean and without trees for better river flow. Vaigai river helps many villages across ramand and sivaganga district people.
