History & tradition
Pasupatiswarar Temple is at Pandanallur in the Thiruvidaimarudur taluk of Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu. Shiva is worshipped here as Pasupatheeswarar in the form of a lingam, and Parvati as Mangalambika. The deity is praised in the 7th-century Tevaram hymns of the Nayanars, so the shrine is counted among the Paadal Petra Sthalams. The temple legend tells of Parvati playing with a ball at this place, which is said to have given the village its name.
