The Mangalam River is the main tributary of the river Gayathripuzha, which in turn is a tributary of Bharathapuzha, the second longest river in Kerala, India. It is around 30 kilometres (19 mi) long, with its source in the Nelliyampathi forests, and passing through Vadakkencherry, Kannambra, Puthucode, and Padur before joining the Gayathripuzha at Plazhi in the border of Thrissur and Palakkad districts.
The Cherukunnapuzha is a tributary of the Mangalam River, across which Mangalam Dam is constructed. A canal system for irrigation was completed and opened in 1966, in Alathur taluk, Palakkad district.
