An ideal getaway in
Theni District, Mavoothu is located around 20 km from
Andipatti. The place is set amid picturesque surroundings and the major attraction here is the
Vellappar Temple on the
Varushanad Hill.
The place got the name Mavoothu from the rainwater, which gathers around the mango trees near the Vellappar Temple and flows downhill in torrents. 'Mavoothu' in Tamil means 'spring of the mango grove.' This place has a perennial water source.
