Mythology

According to the legend, when a grandmother came with her granddaughter to this place to graze cows, the granddaughter felt thirsty. While searching for water, she secretly found water in this place and quenched her thirst. It is believed that in the Magh language, Aan means thirst and Dhi means water, hence the place was called Andimul.[1][4]

According to another legend, when Cheli was coming to Mawli in ancient times, a storm appeared when he reached at the middle of the forest. To avoid the storm, they stayed in the cave near the arch tree at this place. Later, in a dream, a relative was ordered to worship at the base of a tree and burn incense on the full moon day. While excavating the place that he saw in the dream, a source of water emanating from the base of the same tree started and formed a pond. It is believed that the local people have been worshipping the Andimul and the pond then after.[1][5]
