பந்தணைநல்லூர் பசுபதீஸ்வரர் கோயில்
Pandanallur, Tamil Nadu · 11.1327°, 79.5121°
A Paadal Petra Sthalam revered in Sambandar's Tevaram, with 11th-century Chola masonry and inscriptions running from Rajaraja I to Rajaraja III; its white lingam bears the mark of a cow's hoof, and the complex includes a five-tiered rajagopuram and three prakarams.
Parvati, cursed to become the cow Kamadhenu for delaying the sunset at play, worshipped Shiva over a snake's lair at Pandanallur until he released her.
