\nRivers in India are broadly classified based on where they drain their waters. West-flowing rivers flow into the Arabian Sea, while east-flowing rivers flow into the Bay of Bengal. Periyar, Bharatpuzha, and Pamba are all significant rivers flowing westward through the state of Kerala into the Arabian Sea. The Tamraparni River, however, flows eastward through Tamil Nadu and drains into the Gulf of Mannar (part of the Bay of Bengal).
