16. The Chitrakoot Falls on the Indravati River

17. The Chitrakoot Falls is a waterfall located near
Jagdalpur, in Bastar district in the Indian state of
Chhattisgarh on the Indravati River. The height of
the falls is about 29 metres (95 ft). The breadth of
the waterfall varies, as the water level in the river
goes down drastically during summer. However
during a monsoon the river touches both the banks
and is filled with silt. In contrast, during summer
the water carries no silt and looks different. This is
a contrast to Jog falls which has water that looks
white even during monsoon.
