Papanasam is a small village. It is 60kms from Tirunelveli from where buses ply to Papanasam. The river Tamiraparani flowing from the Western Ghats reaches the plains at Papanasam. While flowing down the rocky bed it forms into many falls. The agasthiyar falls being the popular one. This waterfall is believed to absolve all sins from people who bath in it. This has made Papanasam (papa+vinasam, meaning absolution of sins) an important pilgrim centre. Fishes are found in abundance in the water. They are quite harmless and approach the bathers in large numbers. The devotees believe that these fishes are redeemed souls and harming them would bring retribution.    Photo Gallery  - - - Select A Gallery - - - Eruvadi: Children Eruvadi: Fields Eruvadi: Hills Eruvadi: Nambi River Eruvadi: Arial View Eruvadi: People Eruvadi: Miscellaneous Eruvadi: Classic Nice Graphics Thirukkurungudi Nambi Malai Nanguneri Kalakkadu Road To Tenkasi Kanniyakumari Papanasam Manimuthar   View As Slide Show      Photo Gallery  - - - Select A Gallery - - - Eruvadi: Children Eruvadi: Fields Eruvadi: Hills Eruvadi: Nambi River Eruvadi: Arial View Eruvadi: People Eruvadi: Miscellaneous Eruvadi: Classic Nice Graphics Thirukkurungudi Nambi Malai Nanguneri Kalakkadu Road To Tenkasi Kanniyakumari Papanasam Manimuthar   Photos Size: 1024 X 768 Photos open in a new window
