There was a rivulet that connected Triplicane and Mylapore several centuries ago. Since the origin of the river was the tank or the Kairavani Pushkarini in the Adi Kesava temple at Mylapore, it came to be called Kairavani Neerodai. The rivulet was full of fragrant flowers like lily and lotus. The other end of the rivulet was another holy pond which is now the temple tank of Lord Parthasarathy Swamy temple at Triplicane.
