The lagoon is fed by a number of small rivers, including Per Aru.
The town of Mullaitivu is located on land sandwiched between Nanthi Kadal and the Indian Ocean. As such Nanthi Kadal is sometimes referred to as Mullaitivu lagoon.
This is the place where the Sri Lankan Government claims to have killed the LTTE Chief Vellupillai Prabhakaran.
