'''Papanasini ''' is the mountain stream in wayanad district of kerala.

Emanating from the heart of Brahmagiri forest flowing through roots, leaves and flowers of ancient trees and medicinal herbs, Papanasini is a holy mountain stream accessible around 1 km northwest of the temple premises. Pilgrims bathe here as they consider its waters to be sacred with powers to absolve one's sins. Further, the temple offers services to immerse cremation ashes in the sacred mountain stream to be thus carried to Kaveri River and from there to the ocean. This is a part of the last rites.

According to [[Thirunelli temple]] officials, if the ashes of the dead are immersed in Papanasini, it is equivalent to doing the rituals in Gaya.

==Geography==
The river begins as a spring in the [[Brahmagiri (hill)|Brahmagiri]] Hills region near [[Tirunelli]] Temple. The river meets the Kalindi River of Kerala (not the more famous Kalindi which is also known as [[Yamuna]]).

==Legends==
According to tradition, Vishnu granted the power of the Papanasini river to wash away all sins as a boon to Lord Brahma, after Lord Brahma installed an idol of Vishnu at [[Thirunelli Temple]]. Pilgrims travel to Papansini river on [[karkidaka vavu]] to wash themselves of their sins.
