Following a river
A journey begins. We’re on our way to see two rivers meet. The Muthirappuzhayaar and the Kannimalaiyaar. The third river Nallathanniyaar meets them a little further away from the Regional Office building.
Moonnaar (Munnar) means 3 rivers. It is literally the place where the Muthirappuzhayaar, Nullatanniyaar and Knnimallaiaar meet. This ‘sangam’ occurs right below the Regional Office of K.D.H.P Company. The building used to be the main railway station of ‘The Kundale Valley Light Railway, also referred to as KDHP & Co. Steam Train. The train rolled out connecting Munnar and Top Station in 1908. A 1919 map has just 2 rail lines marked in Kerala, the Kollam- Shengotta line and the KDHP & Company Steam Train. The train accommodated materials and people; the 20 mile journey only took 4 hours!
