Kadalundi River
Often ornamented in lyrics of (g)olden classic songs of Malayalam movies, Kadalundi river sat at a height in the minds of artists of those times. It’s an important water nerve flowing through the district of Malappuram, Kerala, South India.
This wide sight from the Kadalundi bridge marks the end of the river. After this point (towards the left), the river playfully mingles and merges in to the Arabian Sea.
