			==History==
			According to a legend, the [[Pandava]] had a sojourn here during their life incognito. Their wife, [[Draupadi]], came to take a bath at a lake, which was present at that time. Some devas, bewitched by her beauty, tried to satisfy their voyeuristic itch. King of devas, Lord [[Indra]], came to know about what was going on, and built screens or hills heaping flowers and prevented them from indulging in such a practice. And the pond thus became a dam isolated by floral hills. Since there were no trees around the bund, it was always free of leaves and so it was called Ila-veezha-poonchira. Some say that the name comes from the fact that it is always windy at the place and hence the leaves are carried away.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://soorajknair.com/ilaveezhapoonchira/\|title=Ilaveezha Poonchira}}</ref>
