Theni District



Theni District has been formed after bifurcation from erstwhile Madurai District. Consequent on the bifurcation, one new Revenue Division with headquarters at Uthamapalayam and two new Taluks at Theni and Bodinaickanur were also created.

The district is bounded by Dindigul District to the north, Madurai District to the east, Virudhunagar District to the southwest, and the state of Kerala to the west.

The district is home to Theni, Periyakulam, Bodinayakanur, Cumbum, Cuddalore, Chinnamanur, Andipatti and several other small villages. The district lies at the foot of the Western Ghats and is diversified by several ranges and hills. A range of hills which runs parallel to Western Ghats from north to south separate it from the neighboring state of Kerala.
