The visit to this origin point of the Palar River on Nandi Hills, Andhra Pradesh, was part of the “Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka Heritage Walk”, from 25th to 28th December 2025, organised by “எண்திசை வரலாற்று மரபுநடைக்குழு".
The main Palar River originates in Nandhi Durg, Kolar district, at an elevation of 800 m above MSL in the eastern part of Karnataka State, through Kolar and Bangarupet Taluks, where it forms the very large Bethamangal tank, which is the main source of water supply to Kolar Gold Field and Bharath Earth Movers Limited. It leaves the Karnataka border and flows through Andhra Pradesh for a small distance in Kuppam Taluk in Chittoor District, enters Vellore District of Tamil Nadu, passes west of Vaniambadi Town, and joins the Bay of Bengal, east of Maduranthagam and south of Mahabalipuram. From Nandhi Durg, on the way, about 13 tributary small rivers joins with Palar, and the water flows only during the rainy season in the Tamil Nadu area.
