Kavumbhagom, also spelled Kavumbhagam, is a ward and a census village in Thiruvalla municipality, in the Pathanamthitta district of Kerala, India.[1] The village has a population of 6644 as of 2011. Kavumbhagom is an important junction serving as a major road route connecting Changanasserry, Thiruvalla, Chathenkary, and Mavelikkara. The Thiruvalla Sree Vallabha temple, after which the town of Thiruvalla has been named, is located in Kavumbhagom.
Traditionally, Kavumbhagom referred to the area around the Karunattu Kaavu temple, and was the junction where the Thiruvalla-Mavelikkara Road met the Kottayam-Mavelikkara Road. Once a new road was constructed from the Ambili Junction during the early 1980s, the former Kavumbhagom Junction came to be called Anchal Kutty, while the place formerly known as Erankavu became known as Kavumbhagom,.
