    Description

    This waterfall divides around Sivasamudram (also spelled Shivasamudram or Shivasanamudram) Island. One side is known as Gaganachukki and the other side is known as Bara chukki. Gagana chukki is a large horsetail and Bara chukki (also spelled Bhara chukki) is a jagged crashing cascade. Monsoon season makes this waterfall swell to enormous proportion, creating a waterfall perhaps a thousand feet wide.
