Papanasini is a famous spring flowing downhill of
Brahmagiri and alongside the famous Thirunelli Temple. With its crystal clear water, Papanasini is a favorite halt for nature lovers. The literal meaning of the word ‘papanasini’ is 'destroyer of all sins'. Devotees believe that a dip in this holy water will wipe away all sins. Pakshipathalam is the nearby attraction.
Mananthavady is about 30 km from here.
