pabanasam swami temple pandya king two children lord shiva years later performing sacred waters

LOCATION OF THE TEMPLE: Sri Pabanasaswami Temple, is situated at Papanasam a small town near Thirunelveli, of Tamilnadu, India.

HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE: Once there was a Pandyan king who converted to Buddhism. He harassed and ill-treated those among his subjects who did not convert to Buddhism as he decreed. A family of a father and two children who were ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, unable to face this harassment left their state and went to a neighbouring state.

Unfortunately the family got caught up in a civil war that was raging in that state. The children, one boy and the other a girl, got separated from each other. Many years later after wandering through many states they arrived in Banares. By chance they met each other, fell in love and got married without realising that they were siblings.They found out their mistake afterwards and sought ways of absolving their sin. They were advised to wear black and to bathe in all the sacred waters in India and when their black clothe turned white it was an indication that they were absolved of their sin. Accordingly they clothed themselves in black and went from place to place in search of redemption. Finally they arrived at Papanasam and when they bathed in the river their clothes turned white thus indicating the absolution of their sin. Hence the deity in this temple is called 'Papavinaseswarar' (the redeamer of sins).
