Kotitirtha

This sacred tank is believed to contain ‘one crore (koti) sacred springs (tirtha)’. On the southern bank of the tank is the Vara­deshvara linga, installed by Sage Agasthya. It is considered auspicious to bathe in the tank and perform rituals for departed souls. Many devotees can be seen doing this near the tank bund where there are sheltered stone structures for the purpose.
