Piranoor is a Panchayat Village of Tenkasi Block[1] and Shenkottai Taluk.[2] in Tenkasi district, Tamil Nadu, India, in the foothills of the Western Ghats. Up to 1956, this area was a toll gate between the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, so this area is known as Border.

Kollam - Madurai National Highway (NH744) goes via this place. Tirunelveli - Tenkasi - Kollam State Highway (SH39) also goes via this place.

It is located roughly 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the Courtallam Waterfall, near the border with Kerala. The Harihara and Kuntaaru rivers flow between Shenkottai and this village.
