Veera Chozhan River
The Virasolanar river, also known as Veera Cholan river, is a significant distributary of the Cauvery River in the Cauvery Delta of Tamil Nadu and the Karaikal region of the Union Territory of Puducherry, India.[1][2]
Geography and Course
The river originates near Thiruvidaimarudur in Thanjavur district and flows eastward through Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, and Karaikal, before emptying into the Bay of Bengal near Tharangambadi. The river supports local agriculture, particularly paddy cultivation, and plays an important ecological and cultural role in the region. Government records such as weir tender documents mark locations up to 145 kilometres (90 mi)[3][4]
