Manimuthar River originates on the eastern slopes of Western Ghats in Tirunelveli District of the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India. It is a major tributary of the Tambaraparani River. The river begins in the dense forest on a mountain peak above sea level in Ex-Singampatti Zamindari,Ambasamudram taluk and flows though small cataracts until it reaches the Tambaraparani River near Kallidaikurichi. The tributaries of the Manimuthar are the Keezha River and the Varattar River.

In 1957, Manimuthar anicut was built across the river before its juncture with the Tamiraparani.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rivers )〕 ==Other eponymous rivers== The town of Vridhachalam on the banks of the Manimuktha River, from Cuddalore, has an ancient () temple dedicated to Lord Vridhagirishwarar.
