Kovilpathu is a village in the Vedaranyam taluk of Nagapattinam district, Tamil Nadu, India. Current Panchayath president is Aanandhi Sarabojirajan. The name Kovil pathu name comes from ‘Kuvalai Pathiram’. In the Mahabharata, rishi Durvasa came to the residence of the Pandava to have lunch. But the Akshaya Patra, the vessel that could provide unlimited food, had one limitation that it could be used only once a day, and it had been done so. Draupadi, not knowing what to do, prayed to Krishna who took from the pot, a single grain of rice and ate it. Since the rice was offered with genuine devotion, Krishna's stomach was completely filled by just that one grain of rice, and so was Durvasa's stomach. The Akshaya Patra in Tamil, is called ‘Kuvalai Pathiram’, which in due course of time, became ‘Kovil Pathu’.
