Bhavani is a second grade Municipality in Erode district, Tamil Nadu, India. It is a peninsular island area situated at the north of Erode City and its about from Coimbatore city on National Highway 47.

It lies at the confluence of the rivers Kaveri, the largest river in Tamil Nadu and Bhavani, the second largest river in Tamil Nadu, with the invisible mystic Sarasvati River. Hence this place is known as the Triveni Sangam of South. The Sangameswarar Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, built at the confluence of these rivers, is a sacred place for Hindus. The temple is located on the northern bank where the rivers meet. The five hill temples of this area such as Sankagiri, Tiruchengode, Padmagiri, Mangalagiri and Vedagiri are surrounding this Temple. Bhavani is also known as the Carpet city, as the leading business of the town is known for its carpet industry.
