| The word ‘Nila’ stands for both Bharathapuzha and Valluvanad Culture hand-to-hand. Bharathappuzha :
The Bharathappuzha, also known as Nila, is a river in India in the state of Kerala. At 209 km, it is the second-longest river in Kerala after the Periyar River. The word "Nila" indicates the culture more than just a river. Nila has groomed the culture and life of south Malabar part of Kerala. We see the name "Peraar" indicating the same river in ancient scripts and documents.
The headwaters of main tributary of Bharathappuzha originates in the Aana malai hills in the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu, and flows westward through Palakkad Gap, across Palakkad, Thrissur and Malappuram districts of Kerala, with many tributaries joining it, including the Tirur River. For the first 40 km or so, the Bharathappuzha follows an almost northerly course till Pollachi. At Parli both Kannadippuzha and Kalpathippuza merge and flow as Bharathappuzha and follows a westerly course until it empties into the Arabian Sea at Ponnani. Thootha River merges with Nila at Pallippuram. As Thootha River is rich in water after its merge Nila becomes thicker in flow.
