Dassam Falls, Waterfall in Ranchi district, India
The Dassam Falls cascade down 144 feet from the Kanchi River, forming a natural pool at its base amid dense forest vegetation.
The name originates from the Mundari language words 'da' meaning water and 'som' meaning collecting, reflecting the local tribal heritage.
Local communities gather at the falls during festivals, maintaining traditional practices through ceremonies near the water collection points.
Visitors can reach the falls by traveling 34 kilometers from Ranchi city along the Ranchi-Tata Highway, with limited public transportation options.
During the water flow, the falls split into ten distinct streams, creating multiple water channels cascading down the rocky surface.
