Keoti Falls, Waterfall in Rewa District, India.
Keoti Falls is a segmented waterfall with a single drop on the Mahana river, a tributary of the Tamsa (Tons), where it leaves the Rewa Plateau at the edge of the Chitrakoot Hills in the Kaimur Range. Sources give its height as 98 metres, or 130 metres in the World Waterfall Database. The water falls as a sheer curtain of parallel white strands that merge into one broad column and vanish into a dark pool hidden by pale mist; the tan, layered rock lip above the drop carries green vegetation on the left cliff face.
Keoti Falls lies on the Mahana river, a tributary of the Tamsa or Tons, where it drops from the edge of the Rewa Plateau. Its single segmented fall marks a knick point, a break in the river's gradient caused by rejuvenation of the land. The falls sit at the edge of the Chitrakoot Hills, part of the Kaimur Range, near the Sirmour constituency.
The falls take their name from Kyonti village in Sirmour tehsil, on the edge of the Chitrakoot Hills. The Mahana river, a tributary of the Tamsa or Tons, drops here as it leaves the Rewa Plateau, and the village name is the one locals use for the site.
The rocks around the falls become slippery, particularly from June through September when water flow increases significantly due to monsoon rainfall. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and move carefully when approaching the water's edge.
Keoti Falls is a nick point: rejuvenation broke the river's gradient, letting the Mahana drop vertically. The fall is a single segmented drop, and sources differ on its height, 98 m in one and 130 m in the World Waterfall Database.
