The Swarnamukhi is a river in southern India. This is an independent river which rises at an elevation of 300 m above sea level in the Eastern Ghats ranges near Pakala in Tirupati district and flows through 130 km towards the Bay of Bengal. The holy Hindu temples of Tirumala and Srikalahasti are located in the river basin. It was mentioned as Mogaleru in the works of Dhurjati. In Tamil, the river is known as “Ponmugali” (Tamil: பொன்முகலி).

Kalyani Dam with 25 million cubic meters live storage was constructed in 1977 across its tributary Kalyani river.
