Muthupet is a town in Tiruvarur District. It is located between
Thirutturaipoondi and Pattukkotai, and around 360 km away from Chennai. The
town lies adjacent to the Bay of Bengal and is in the southernmost part of the
Cauvery delta. Muthupet is bounded by Korayar and Bamaniyar rivers to the east
and west respectively. The rivers Koriayar and Pamaniyar join near Muthupet,
and there is a lagoon, which is rich in fish.
Muthupet is an ideal place for fishing, pearl hunting and bird
hunting. It is well known for its fishing industries such as finfish (koduva),
shrimp and crab. A natural mangrove forest, Alayathi Kadu, is one of the
largest of its kind in India. Muthupet Lagoon is located at the southern end of
the Cauvery river delta on the Bay of Bengal, covering an area of approximately
6,803.01 ha of which only 4% is occupied by well-grown mangroves. The rivers
Paminiyar, Koraiyar, Kilaithankiyar Marakkakoraiyar and other tributaries of
the river Cauvery flow through Muthupet and adjacent villages. At the tail end,
they form a lagoon before meeting the sea.
