Keerimalai

Keerimalai is a suburb in Jaffna .It is very close to Palaly. It has a natural water spring.
A bathing tank is built surrounding this pool and only the walls separate the waters of the spring and the sea. Although the tank is so close to the sea, the water is fresh coming from an underground fresh water spring in Tellipallai-Maviddapuram.

This spring is popular among the Hindus for the miraculous powers it holds..

According to the legend ,a Indian priest called Nagula Muni bathed in this pond and his mongoose face was cured and turned in to a human face.

How to get there: One has to take the Jaffna - Palaly route.
