This place is situated on the bank of Pennaiyar at a distance of 10 Km from Uthangarai and traditionally associated with Tirtamalai. It is believed that Hanuman who was instructed by Lord Rama to get the water from the Ganges for his penance at Tirtamalai which he could not do it in time. So Rama was said to have done Asthrapryogam and got it. Disapponted at this, Hanuman was said to have thrown down the vessel in which he brought the holy water and this spilled water is believed to be the Hanumantirtha. The water is considered sacred and during the Tamil month of Aadi (July-August) people frequent this spot.
