Mamannar #KalingarayanAnicut is a dam constructed on the #BhavaniRiver (tributary of #KaveriRiver) in the South Indian state of #TamilNadu. It is located just before #Kooduthurai where Bhavani combines with #Cauvery, in #Bhavani, #Erode. The anicut was constructed in the 13th century by the Kongu Tamil Chieftain Mamannar Kalingarayan Gounder and his birth name is Lingaiya Gounder. This irrigation project involved the construction of a dam and barrage to divert the water to Kalingarayan Canal. It is one of the ancient River linking project, which established the link between Bhavani river and Noyyal river. The Kalingarayan Anicut was built in 1283. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuogJzhCak/?igshid=11hwli09buetz
