Chitrakut Water Falls Photo

Photographer’s Note

Also known as the (mini) Niagara Falls of India, this waterfalls is 35 kms from Jagdalpur, in the state of Chattisgarh. Being one of the most naxal affected states in the country, the beauty and force of this water falls is little known, also owing to limited commercialization and development of tourism by the government. The area around this falls is guarded by an army of plain-clothed security guards with AK-47 rifles.

But coming to this place was nothing short of amazing, the force of the water falls stuns you. Watching the Indravati river drop into this little gorge, that can only be accessed from one side. (the view this picture was taken) The water is muddy in the rainy season but clear and beautiful in the other seasons.

Nice POV. The brown-dirty white color combination created by the muddy water adds true beauty to the picture. TFS.

hi sreya,
indeed it looks like niagara falls, minus the AK-47 of course!
i like the slant presentation which i think is a smart idea.
the ligting is also well managed.
belated merry christmas1

Hi sreya,
This is a shot filled with raw energy that the gushing water depicts. The only thing I would ask you is, why did you go for a tilted frame? I think a normal vertical frame would have worked better in this case. Just mu thoughts!!

Sagarneel.
