Parvati Puthannar (Malayalam: പാർവതി പുത്തനാർ) is a man-made canal that runs through the west coast of the Trivandrum District. It was named after Rani Parvathi Bai who was the reigning Queen of Travancore during the time it was created.[1] "Puthannar" in Malayalam means "the new river". It was created primarily for connecting the Travancore capital to Kadinamkulam, the Vamanapuram River and finally to Kochi. This canal also has access to the King's boat landing place, Vallakadavu, where the King's boathouse is located. It starts from the Kadinamkulam Lake in the north and flows south-east, parallel to the Trivandrum coast. It finally ends in a small delta near Poonthura and empties into the Indian Ocean. The delta formed by Parvathi Puthannar is known as Poonthura Pozhi. At first its water was very clear and fresher than any river or other man-made canal in India. At that time Travancore was the only hygienic, clean city in India. However, Parvathi Puthannar is now polluted and most portions are not navigable, due to pollution and weeds.[2] Parvathi Puthannar was recently declared a part of the West Coast Canal which forms the National Waterway 3 (NW-III).{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} References1. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105213739/http://www.keralapwd.gov.in/pwd/public/history.jsp |date=January 5, 2009 }} {{coord missing|Kerala}}{{Thiruvananthapuram-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2009/02/15/stories/2009021558120300.htm |title=Kerala / Thiruvananthapuram News : Polluted canal hits tourism project |publisher=The Hindu |date=2009-02-15 |accessdate=2012-09-26}} 2 : Canals in India|Buildings and structures in Thiruvananthapuram district |
