Pasupatiswarar Temple is located in Pandanallur in the Thiruvidaimarudur taluk of Thanjavur district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

The oldest parts of the present masonry structure were built during the Chola dynasty during the 11th century, while later expansions, are attributed to later periods.

The temple is now maintained and administered by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

This resulted in natural calamity leading to the fury of Shiva and kicked away the ball to obscurity.

Shiva cursed Parvathi to become a cow and ordered her to worship him in the place where the ball was floated under Kondrai tree.

Parvathi in the form of Kamadhenu, the holy cow worshipped the lord in snake's lair in Pandanallur.

The inscriptions refer the presiding deity as Pasupathy Devan and Pasupatheeswarar, while the village is mentioned as Pandanainallur and Vadanattu Vilathurnattu Pandanallur.
