'''Namada Chilume''' (pronounced naamada chilume' in Kannada) is a natural [[Spring (hydrosphere)|spring]] situated by [[Devarayanadurga]], near [[Tumkur]] in the state of [[Karnataka]] in [[India]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://tumkur.nic.in/|title= TUMKUR DISTRICT TOURIST PLACES|author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate=}}</ref> The spring issues from the surface of the rock. It is believed that [[Rama]], along with Sita and Lakshmana, stayed here during their exile in the forest. Rama searched for water to apply [[tilaka]] to his forehead. When he could not find any water, he shot an arrow at the rock. The arrow penetrated the rock, made a hole, and the water came out. Henceforth, this place was called Namada Chilume, meaning "Spring of Tilak". (naama = tilak and chilume' = spring, in Kannada) As shown in the picture, the water comes out from a small hole throughout the year and never dries up. The water that comes out is considered as sacred water ([[Tirtha (Hinduism)|tirtha]]). It is approximately 14&nbsp;km from Tumkur and 80&nbsp;km from [[Bangalore|Bengaluru]].<ref>[http://www.discoverbangalore.com (Bangalore):27 June 2015] (English)</ref><br />
