[edit]Along with natural scenery, the waterfall is also known for temples around it. Following are the temple around Waterfall:

- Banganga Mahadev Temple
It is considered as important tourist attraction in rainy season. Waterfall is also known for its rock pattern which looks like black metal.[2]
Note
[edit]Sahasra[4] is the correct prefix that means "a thousand", not SahasTra. However, it is invariably misspelled as the latter. Notice how the same prefix is spelled when referring to the crown chakra: "Sahasrara Chakra" or when it occurs in family names (example: Sahasrabuddhe[5]) without a T. Also see Sahasralinga. The confusion arises because the Devanagari letter "Sa" (स) merges with "ra" (र) and looks like "tra".
