The Moyar River (also Mayar)^[1] is one of the tributaries of the Bhavani, which itself is a tributary of the Kaveri in Tamil Nadu, South India.

The Moyar river originates from a small town called Mayar off the Masinagudi–Ooty road. This is a natural line of separation between the state of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and a separation between the forest of Bandipur National Park and the Mudumalai sanctuary to the south.^[2] The Moyar meets the Bhavani River at the Bhavanisagar reservoir on the plains of Tamil Nadu near Satyamangalam.^[3]

Mysore Ditch

The Moyar River Gorge also known as Mysore Ditch is 20 km (12 mi) long. The river flows into the gorge below Theppakadu in a roaring waterfall called Moyar Falls.^[4] There is a point in gorge where Sigurhalla river from Sigur Plateau joins it after forming a 3 kms long gorge.
