Koviloor is a village located in Vattavada panchayat of Devikulam taluk in Idukki district in the Indian state of Kerala.[1] It is situated around 1,700 m (5,600 ft) above sea level near the Tamil Nadu border. It is 43 km (27 mi) east of Munnar.[2] The village is known for growing a wide range of vegetables and fruits through terrace farming.[3] The majority of the population speaks Tamil, as the region borders Tamil Nadu.[4]

The name Koviloor is a combination of two Tamil words: Kovil, which means ''temple'' and Oor, which means "village", thus it literally means the "village of temples".[5]
