Bhagavan Kovil is a Vaishnavite temple near Dharapuram in Tiruppur district, dedicated to Vishnu as Lord Thirumalaisamy. It lies a little under 14 km from Dharapuram town.

The temple is known above all for its Ugadi celebrations. On the Telugu new year, which falls in March or April, devotees arrive in lakhs. Ugadi is the occasion that defines the temple, and the festival is its busiest time of year. Nallathangal Dam, around 4 km away, is a local attraction close by.
