Govaṇi (गोवणि) (fl. 1034 A.D.) is the name of a village mentioned as lying on the western boundary of Kunde, according to the “Berlin museum plates of Cittarāja”. The village Kunde which comprised the field still retains its name and is situated almost near the northern boundary of the Bhivaṇḍī tāluka.

These copper plates (mentioning Govaṇi) have been lying in the Berlin Museum for a long time. Their original findspot is not known. Its object is to record the grant, by Chittarāja, of a field called Abhinava-deva-ccebhā in the village of Kunde situated in the viṣaya (district) of Māhirahāra containing sixty-six (villages) to the Śaiva ascetic Jñānaśiva, a disciple of the holy Vāḍācārya, who belonged to the Western Āmnāya. The grant is dated as the fourteenth tithi (Śivarātri) of the bright fortnight of the second Caitra in the Śaka year 956, the cyclic year being Bhava.
