The height of the falls is about 29 metres (95 ft).[1][2] It is the widest waterfall in India, reaching a width of nearly 300 metres (980 ft) during the monsoon season.[3] Because of its width and its widespread horseshoe shape during the monsoon season, it is often called the "Niagara Falls of India".[4][5]
