- Chitrakot
The Chitrakot (alternative spelling Chitrakut) is a waterfall on the
Indravati River , located nearJagadalpur , in theIndia n state ofChhattisgarh . This river is a tributary of theGodavari River . The height of the falls is 100 feet. [Incredible India [http://www.incredibleindia.org/centralindia/natural_attractions.htm Central India: Natural Attractions] Accessed 24 April 2008] The breadth of the waterfall varies, as the water level in the river goes down drastically during summer. However during a monsoon, the river flow touches both the banks of the river, and is filled with silt. In contrast, during summer the water carries no silt and looks different. The area around the falls is largely forested. Nearby is theKanger Ghati National Park and the Indiravati Tiger Reserve.

The day before the photographs were taken, the region was cut off due to floods, so the photographs here will show you close to the maximum strength of the water. However when most visitors visit and in the government tourism website done find them much narrower but taller. This in a way a contrast to
Jog falls which has water that looks white during monsoon.It is also called as Indian niagaraReferences
