WATERFALL
TOPOGRAPHY
The Chitrakote Falls is located on the Indravati River.
The river originates in the Kalahandi district of Odisha,
in the Vindhya Range of hills, flows westward, and then
forms a fall at Chitrakote, after which it finally flows
into the Godavari River at Bhadrakali, after traversing
240 miles (390 km) in the state. The free drop of the
falls is a sheer height of about 30 metres (98 ft).
SPECIALITY

Because of its horseshoe shape, it is often

compared with the world-famous Niagara Falls in
the United States and is given the sobriquet "the
Small Niagara Falls". During the rainy season, from
July to October, rainbows are created with sun rays
reflecting on mist from the waterfall.
TIP FOR VISITORS!
The best time to visit Chitrakoot is
between July and March when the
weather is pleasing and not very
hot. Ideal season for a visit is in the
monsoon season, especially from
August onwards.

• HISTORY
• The town of Sirpur (aka Shirpur) has been mentioned in epigraphic
and textual records dated to the 5th to the 8th centuries CE. The city
was once the capital of the Sharbhapuriya and Somavamshi kings of
Dakshina Kosala state. It was an important Hindu, Buddhist and
Jain settlement of the South Kosala kingdom between the 5th and the
12th century CE.
• WHAT ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY
• Sirpur became a major archaeological site after it was visited in 1882
by Alexander Cunningham, a colonial British India official. His report
on a Laxman (Lakshmana) temple at Sirpur brought it to international
attention. The site remained neglected in early 20th-century during
the decades of the World Wars, and excavations resumed in 1953.
There were further excavations in 1990s and then particularly after
2003 when 184 mounds were identified and some selectively
excavated.
