Papavinasanam Tirumala
It is believed that this place’s holy waters dissolve the devotees’ sins. Hence, this place is known as Papavinasanam. It is believed that this water comes from the feet of the Lord. This was a natural waterfall, but the water was arranged to flow from the mouth of the lions. There are separate dressing rooms at this site for men and women, where they can change their dresses. A reservoir is constructed here, which supplies water to the whole of Tirumala
The reservoir near the dam restricts the water flow in this theertham.
A bath in Papa Vinasanam Thirta frees the devotee from the consequences of the sins of previous births. A Salagrama stone can be donated here.
Bathing in this water is refreshing and is said to wash away evils and confer good fortune. Every pilgrim visiting Tirumala Tirupati must and should visit this place.
