This is the place where Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshmana stayed here during their exile in the forest. Lord Rama made this water spring when he could not find any water source to apply tilaka on his forehead. To make this water spring he shot an arrow on the rock and water came out. Hence this place was called Namada Chilume, meaning "Water of Spring". This water keeps running throughout the year and never dries up.
