The Vettar River is a river in the Kaveri delta that flows through the Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, and Nagapattinam districts of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Course
The Vettar is a distributary of the Vennar River, and begins northwest of Thennankudi at the Thenperambur dam in Thanjavur district. The Vettar branches off to the northeast, while the Vennar continues to the east.[1] The river flows to the north of Melattur, before turning to the southeast as it passes to the south of Valangaiman. North of Koradacheri, it turns back to the northeast, passing to the north of Thiruvarur. A distributary of the Vettar, the Odambokkai River, flows through Thiruvarur.[2] After passing Thiruvarur, the Vettar continues flowing to the east, through Nagapattinam district, before it empties into the Bay of Bengal in the town of Nagore.[3]
