Thirparappu water falls (Coordinates: 8°23′28″N 77°15′34″E)

Thirparappu is famous for its waterfalls and is located in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu in the southern part of India. Thirparappu Falls is located 42 km  from Nagercoil (capital of Kanyakumari District), 55 km from Thiruvananthapuram (capital of Kerala) and a distance of 5 km from Kulasekaram (nearest town panchayat). This famous falls is in the Kodayar (Kothai River). The Kodayar makes its descend at Thirparappu and the water fall at this place is about 13 km  from Pechiparai dam.

Thirparappu waterfalls is 300 ft  feet long and consists of a rocky riverbed. The water falls from a height of nearly 50 ft. The waterfall has flows with great force for around seven months in the whole year.The whole bed above the falls is one rocky mass which extends up to a distance of about quarter of a kilometer upstream where the famous Thirparappu weir has been constructed for supplying water to the paddy fields. This irrigation facility is extremely useful here and it is fascinating to see the process of irrigation from the dam to the fields.
On either side of the river, on the left bank of the river in between the water falls and the weir, there is a temple dedicated to Siva enclosed by strong fortification. Called Mahadever Temple it is the third one of the twelve Sivalaya's. It is said that Lord Shiva lives here as Virabhadra which is a fierce form of this Indian God.There are many old inscriptions in this temple including the one of the Pandiya King dated ninth century. This temple is built around A.D. 9th Century.

One of the most captivating is King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream described in Daniel 2:31–45 —a dream that reveals the rise and fall of world empires and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom.
