Ramathirtha

Ramathirtha (Ramatheertha)

Rama Thirtha is another beautiful location in Honnavar. It is situated on the Honnavar-Chandavar road at a distance of about 3 kms. This water tank which is 50 steps below the ground level is very spacious. The water from a height falls into the tank from two different points called Rama Thirtha and Laxmana Thirtha. According to local traditions, Sri Rama, Sita and Laxmana had a holy dip in the tank during their exile period. When Rama shot an arrow he created a perennial spring called Rama Teertha. Even till date water still flows after thousands of years even if there is a severe drought.
