The island town of Shivanasamudra divides the river into twin waterfalls. A group of historic temples can be found at this place and there likely was a village.
The river Kaveri tumbles grandly downward the Shivanasamudra Falls, also called the Shivasamudra Falls. The Shivanasamudra Falls has twin jumps, Gaganachukki and Bharachukki, one km away from each other. It is because to Kaveri river by itself splitting just a few kilometers towards the south into western as well as eastern branches. Both Gaganachukki as well as Bharachukki are a heaven for the nature lovers. It really is a panoramic landscape to view the river fall down from a top of 300-350 feet into a spray of mist. Relaxing on the nearby benches from the watch tower you are able to revel about the beauty that the cascading waterfalls offer.

Bharachukki
