Location
Behind this sacred teertham there lies a fabulous legend. Once lord Vishnu felt very thirsty and asked Garuda to fetch water for quenching his thirst. When Garuda took too much time, lord asked Adishesha to strike a torrent with his tail. Adishesha did exactly the same and hence this theertham is known by his name.
This teertham is situated within the temple precincts and used as a prayer well by the devotees. They tenders salt, jaggery and pepper into the well and pray for health. It is believed that by praying here one would be redeemed even from serious diseases. Those experiencing Sarpa dosha implore to the Sheshnag here for respite.
