Peraruvi Waterfall
About:There are nine waterfalls in 10 km area in Kutralam in which the Peraruvi is the main one. From there we can reach five falls (aiyntharuvi) which lies 4 km away from the main falls. It flows as five branches and falls in unison. It is said that it is a snake with five heads. In between main falls and five falls is Chittaruvi. One has to go through the forest up to 3 km to reach at Chembakadevi waterfalls. Here is the temple of Agasthya monk where devotees make a visit on Pournami day. From there we have to walk a steep area up to one km to reach at honey falls (thenaruvi). The old falls (old Kutralam ) lies 8 km away from the road to Amba ocean. In the path there is small water falls which is called tiger falls (Puliyaruvi) . A cute little fall especially for the kids. Then comes new falls (puthiyaruvi) and fruits falls (pazhathotta aruvi). Now no visitors are allowed to fruit falls which is surrounded with fruits trees and plantations. The reason, visitors are polluting the waterfalls. The famous Kutralanathar Temple lies near to the main falls. Sivan is Kuruambaleeswaran here and Kuzhalmozhi is the goddess (devatha). It is believed that chithrasabha which is adorned with wall paintings is the dance theatre (natyamandapam) of Lord Siva.
