Devadanapatti ( ) is a panchayat town in Periyakulam Taluk, a part of the Theni district in the Madurai Region in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is located at the bottom of the Kodaikanal Hills. ==Etymology== The name Devadanapatti is a combination of two Tamil words: "devadhanam" which means 'gods donated to' or 'gods gifted to' and 'Patti,' which means "village." Therefore, the meaning of Devadanapatti is a village gifted by the gods. ==Geography== The north and east sides of the town have panoramic views of the irrigated landscape, including paddy fields, sugar plantations, plantain fields, and coconut tree groves. Water for agriculture is supplied through the canal and the check dams across the river from Manjalar Dam, which is built down under the Kodaikanal hills. Water from the rivers Varattaru, Thalaiyar, and Iruttaaru fill the dam. ==References==
