 The Papanasam temple is situated at a distance of 50 Kms from Tirunelveli. The Presiding deities are Lord Shiva and goddess Ulagambal. This is one of the important temples in Tirunelveli. This temple was built 700 hundred years ago and is located on the banks of river Thamiraparani. It is believed that if one takes a dip in the river here, all sins would be washed away and hence the place is called Papanasam (Papam - Sin, Nasam – Destruction).
