View of the bathing place on the Tunga River at Tirthahalli, with figures bathing in the sacred pool: 'Near this spot, are a number of tirtha or sacred bathing places, from which the town derives its name. A pool at one of the cylindrical hollows scooped out by the water in the rocky bed is a favourite spot, frequented by Hinds for cleansing away sin by absolution. This pool is said to have been made by Parasu Rama, who is represented as the sixth avatar or incarnation of Vishnu, and as having received his axe from Siva. In the month of Margashira, every year, the Ramesvara festival is held for three days, when thousands of people bathe in this pool. At the season, on these occasions, the water in the river is so low that the bed is crossed by stepping over the boulders and whenever there happens to be a rush of water, temporary bridges are constructed for the people to pass over.'
