  • It's my home town. Like everyone I would say heart fully that the great place to live in this world. A fantastic village with calm nature, the reality I never heard that beggars around in my village and around. Cultivation is the main employment for the people, mainly garlic, potato, beans and carrot. Also there is a very good lake (kolam) near to my village around 6 km distance. People can only go by walk, but fantastic place for site seeing.
  • We lived in Kavunji for 33 years. My Native place is Chinnamanur near Theni. Kavunji is a beautiful village to stay and enjoy joyful holidays. Pastor Manoharan and Mrs. Meenabhai are the loveable persons to me. KKT Sivalingam, KKT Palanichamy & KKT Ganesan are the best friends of mine. Mr. Dhanu brother of Mr.Manoharan is a very good friend of mine. Now he is in Kallikudi as a Pastor. All are loveable persons. Even a Stranger comes into this village, they would be entertained by everybody of this village. The only minus point is Sanitary. There is no common toilets and individual toilets in any of the houses in Kavunji. People use open-Air for their sanitary needs. Other than this it is a very good village.
  • Kavunji is my most lovable place next to Poombarai. I born in Poombarai, but always I used to spend my vacations Kavunji. More over Kavunji is my Mom's birth place. I love the terrace Garlic and Carrot field. Ganeshwari temple (Vinayagar Koil) is my favorite place. In my childhood I used to play around there.
