History
Bhavani has a long historical significance as a sacred town at the confluence of the Kaveri and Bhavani rivers. The town was part of the ancient Kongu Nadu region and was ruled by the Cheras, Cholas, and later the Vijayanagara Empire. The Sangameswarar Temple, dedicated to Shiva, has been a centre of worship for centuries. During the British Raj, Bhavani was part of Coimbatore District under the Madras Presidency. The town developed as a weaving centre, leading to the emergence of the Bhavani Jamakkalam carpet industry.
