About This Waterfall
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.
