 In the rainy season these low-lying paddy fields remain submerged with rain water, limiting cultivators to grow paddy only on a part of the considerably elevated land.An old mythological story runs that the present elevated land Thamakitilla was the divine place where Gods and goddesses were used to halt during their journey.People believe that there exist a divine boat made of stone on the eastern side of Thamakitilla that touches the low-lying paddy fields.
