Usri Falls, Waterfall in Giridih district, India
Usri Falls is a waterfall in Giridih district featuring three distinct cascades that drop approximately 12 meters in total height. The water plunges through a steep gorge cut into gneissic rock formations, creating multiple tiers as it descends.
The name Usri originates from the local term Ushree, which translates to a beautiful source or spring. This naming reflects the historical connection between local populations and this natural site.
The waterfall serves as a gathering place where regional communities conduct traditional ceremonies and celebrate local festivals throughout the year. People from nearby villages view this site as meaningful to their social and spiritual practices.
Visitors can reach the falls by taking taxis, tongas, or auto-rickshaws from Giridih town, located about 13 kilometers to the west. The best time to visit is during or shortly after the monsoon season when water flow is at its strongest.
The riverbed below the falls transforms from a flat surface into a deep gorge with polished rock surfaces carved by flowing water. These polished areas are marked with multicolored mineral veins created through geological processes over thousands of years.
