There's an old well, which rumors to be made by Rama.
It is not a tourist destination and unfortunately you can not enter without any permission by the authorities. Since it is currently the water treatment plant in Pokkanai, a chemical dosing system installed in the plant.

Pokkani is a historical place located in the West Chalk of Urelu. There are varying degrees of opinion among the villagers as to when it was formed. In the story of Karnaparampara, Rama and Sita drank water under the moon and reached the village of Urelu. When Rama takes the bow, the big toe mark and the root mark of Rama are seen embedded in the ground. The top looks like a normal puddle. There is also a trench at the bottom.
