Mathur Aqueduct, Agricultural aqueduct in Kanyakumari District, India.

The Mathur Aqueduct extends for one kilometer across the Pahrali River, supported by 28 concrete pillars reaching heights of 115 feet.

Construction of this water transportation system was completed in 1966 under Chief Minister Thiru K. Kamaraj to address agricultural needs in Tamil Nadu.

The structure has transformed from an irrigation system into a regional landmark where visitors gather to observe engineering methods and water management.

Entry costs 2 rupees per person, with the site remaining open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and offering parking facilities for various vehicles.

The concrete trough measures 7.5 feet in width and 7 feet in height, making it one of the largest water-carrying bridges in Asia.
