Note:It gets its name from Mogral, a coastal village on its northern banks. The river empties into the Arabian Sea in Mogral Puthur. After flowing in a north-westerly direction through Bettipadi and Muliyar, it is joined by another stream rising from the northern part of Karadka Reserve Forest. From Yedhir, the river takes a meandering course and flows through the fairly flat regions of Madhur and Patla. Toward the end of its course, it forms a long stretch of backwaters several kilometers long
Chandragiri also known by the name Payaswini is a river in Kasaragod district of Kerala state, south India. On the banks of this river is 17th century Chandragiri fort. This river is considered as the traditional boundary between Tulu Nadu and Malayalam regions of Kerala. The river originates in a village called Koinadu of Kodagu district in Karnataka state. It flows in a north-westerly direction through Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district. In Sullia taluk, it is the major water source for domestic and agricultural purposes. It then flows west to Kasaragod district of Kerala state to join the Arabian sea.
