Papanasanathar Temple, Hindu temple in Papanasam, Tamil Nadu, India.
The temple features a seven-tiered gateway tower, three precincts for worship, and granite walls enclosing numerous shrines with detailed stone carvings.
The Pandya king Chandrakula Pandya established the temple, which received additions from Vijayanagar and Nayak rulers during the 16th century.
The temple organizes six daily rituals and three major festivals, including Brahmotsavam in April-May and Thaipoosam in January-February.
The temple opens from 5:30 AM to 12 PM and 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM, with extended hours during festivals and special ceremonies.
Women prepare turmeric water at a dedicated pounding stone near the Ulagammai shrine for sacred ceremonies and traditional blessings.
