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. |
