Periyar river is mainly a river of which state?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kerala

The direct answer is A: Kerala. The Periyar is one of the major rivers of Kerala. It rises in the Western Ghats and flows mainly through Kerala before reaching the Arabian Sea region. The river supports drinking water, irrigation, hydroelectric projects, and ecosystems; Periyar Lake and Periyar National Park are also associated with its basin. Option A is correct because Periyar is strongly identified with Kerala in Indian geography. Option B, Haryana, is wrong because Haryana is a north Indian inland state and is not the principal state associated with the Periyar. Option C, Uttarakhand, is wrong because Uttarakhand is in the Himalaya and its important rivers include the Ganga's headwater streams, not Periyar. Option D, Chhattisgarh, is wrong because it belongs to central India and is associated with river systems such as the Mahanadi and Indravati, not mainly Periyar. The word “mainly” allows recognition of the river's principal state association even though river basins can have complex boundaries. Memory cue: Periyar—Kerala—Western Ghats.
