Hogenakkal Falls, Waterfall in Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu, India.
The Kaveri River plunges from a height of 20 meters, creating multiple cascades across carbonatite rock formations at the border of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
The falls appear in ancient Sangam Literature under the name Thalaineer aruvi and were part of the Mysore Kingdom from 1652 to 1768.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional techniques near the falls, where they catch fresh fish and serve them to visitors at riverside stalls.
The falls are accessible through well-maintained roads from Dharmapuri town, with the best viewing conditions occurring between June and September during monsoon season.
The carbonatite rocks at Hogenakkal Falls rank among the oldest geological formations in South Asia, creating distinct patterns in the falling water.
