Koti Teertha has a length of 0.43 kilometres
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.
The importance of the lake probably stems from the fact that this a freshwater lake, fed by springs, though in such close proximity to the sea.
