The Shivanasamudra Falls is on the Kaveri River.The falls form the contour between the districts of Chamarajanagara and Mandya. The Bharachukki Falls in Kollegala, with a height of 69 metres, and the Gaganachukki Falls in Malavalli, with a height of 90 metres, collectively form the Shivanasamudra Falls.

The time of best flow are the monsoon season of July to October. It is 139 km from the city of Bangalore, and one of the best places to visit near Bangalore. One day trip from Bangalore.

Shivanasamudra Falls is known for its twin waterfalls, Gaganachukki and Bharachukki, about 1 km apart. The Cauvery River splits into two and cascades down rocky cliffs, creating these stunning waterfalls. The best time to visit is during the monsoon season when the water flow is at its peak.

Shivanasamudra Falls is home to one of the first hydro-electric power stations in Asia, which was set up in 1902.

In this video, I cover only the Gaganachukki waterfalls, and a Kalabairava temple, dedicated to lord Shiva, which was about 10 Kilometers away from the falls.
