Mathur Thottipalam, or the Mathoor Hanging Bridge, was constructed in 1966 across the Parazhiyar River in Kanyakumari district. Built as part of an irrigation initiative, the aqueduct was designed to carry water from one hill to another and support agriculture in the Vilavancode and Kalkulam regions.
The structure is supported by 28 massive pillars and rises high above the surrounding valley, giving it a distinctive identity among the region’s engineering landmarks. Its combination of practical irrigation purpose, striking height, long span, and scenic setting has made Mathur Thottipalam an important tourist attraction in Kanyakumari district.
