It is formed from the confluence of four tributaries, namely the [[Malampuzha River]], [[Walayar River]], [[Korayar River]] and [[Varattar River]]. The [[Malampuzha Dam]] is built across this river just before it enters Palakkad town. The river is named after the &#039;&#039;&#039;Kalpathi Siva temple&#039;&#039;&#039; in Palakkad town which is famous for its festival.<br /> <br /> One of the problems faced by the Kalpathypuzha, like most other rivers in Kerala, is [[illegal sand mining]]. This has left many pits in the river bed, which leads to shrub growth. During summer the river is covered by a green carpet of [[Water Hyacinth]] and other shrubs.<br /> <br /> ==Other tributaries of Kalpathipuzha==<br /> *[[Korayar]]<br /> *[[Varattar]]<br /> *[[Walayar River|Walayar]]<br /> *[[Malampuzha]]<br /> <br /> {{Waters of Kerala}}<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Kerala}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Rivers of Palakkad district]]<br /> [[Category:Bharathappuzha]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Kerala-geo-stub}}<br /> {{India-river-stub}}</div>
