Papanasam 108 Shivalayam.
Near Kumbakonam.

The Baghavan Rama installed 107 Shivalingas and asked Sri Anjaneya to bring one from Kasi thus making the total 108. Baghavan Rama, after rescuing Sita, performed Shiva Puja in Rameswaram to cleanse Himself of sins that befell on Him in the war killings. While returning to Ayodhya from there, Lord Rama felt that the sins of killing Kara and Dooshana in Janasthanam were following Him. The main Linga was named Ramalingaswami and the one brought by Sri Anjaneya was named Hanumantha Linga.A shrine was built for Mother Parvadhavardhini later.
