Viswanathaperi Part 1

Vasudevanallur block · Tenkasi district, Tamil Nadu · PIN 627757 · village code 642619

The 2020 population figure for this village looks unreliable, so no change is shown. Census 2011 recorded 10,483 people; Mission Antyodaya 2020 recorded 71,854 — more than 2.5 times higher, which no village grows in nine years. One of the two is wrong and we cannot tell which.
