Bhuvanagiri is a Taluka in the Cuddalore district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is the birthplace of a South Indian saint, Sri Raghavendra Swami and is close to Maruthur, the birthplace of Saint Ramalinga Adigalar.
The word Bhuvanagiri is a combination of Bhuvanam (meaning World) and Giri (meaning Mountain). Hence, the name Bhuvanagiri means "The place with a mountain."
