Jada Tirtham is around 4.0 km from Ramanathaswamy Temple, on the way to Dhanushkodi & known among the devotees for the sacred pond. It is believed that when Rama was about to worship Shiva Lingam in Rameshwaram after killing Ravana, he washed his Jata (i.e. his matted hair) in Jada Tirtham. There is a temple next to the pond of Jada Tirtham which lies within Kaveri Tirtham and holds its own mythological importance. Jada Tirtham is believed to be the only place in India where Lord Kapardisvara is worshipped. The temple is constructed near the trunk of a large Peepal tree and all the deities are supposed to have rested there while they had been in Vanvas. Although the temple is small in construction but is a master piece of lattice work and the architecture is simply spectacular. It is famous for its beauty and uniqueness. This makes Jada Tirtham one of the most important places for a pilgrimage
