Theni district, Administrative district in Tamil Nadu, India
Theni district spans 2,868 square kilometers, featuring valleys, mountains, and rivers across a region bordered by Dindigul, Madurai, and Virudhunagar districts.
The district emerged through separation from Madurai District on July 7, 1996, leading to the establishment of new administrative divisions in Theni and Bodinayakanur.
Hindu temples, agricultural festivals, and traditional Tamil music performances shape the district's identity, with celebrations marking important harvest seasons throughout the year.
The district maintains a network of roads and railways connecting to major Tamil Nadu cities, while local transportation serves the agricultural and industrial sectors.
Temperature variations within the district range from 40 degrees Celsius in the plains to as low as 4 degrees Celsius in the elevated regions.
