An ancient spot believed to be created in 19th century; the main purpose of Pothundi Reservoir was irrigation. Situated in a village of Palakkad District about 18 km from Nelliyampathy, the reservoir is across Padippuzha River and Meenchadyppuzha River, the distributaries of River Ayalar.
Created without any concrete base and cement mixture, today this place is a major source of drinking water in the area. Apart from that, the reservoir is also a popular picnic spot with the provision of boating as well.
