It finally ends in a small delta near Poonthura and empties into the Arabian Sea. It starts from the Kadinamkulam Lake in the north and flows south-east, parallel to the Trivandrum coast. This canal also has access to the Kings boat landing place, Vallakadavu, where the Kings boathouse is located. It was created primarily for connecting the Travancore capital to Kadinamkulam, the Vamanapuram River and finally to Kochi. "Puthannar" in Malayalam means "the new river". It was named after Rani Parvathi Bai who was the reigning Queen of Travancore during the time it was created. Parvati Puthannar is a man-made canal that runs through the west coast of the Trivandrum District.
