The Bahuti Falls is a waterfall in Rewa district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is the highest waterfall in Madhya Pradesh.
The Falls
[edit]The Bahuti waterfall is on the river Nihai (also called as Odda) as it rushes down the edge of the Valley of Mauganj to join the Belan River, which is a tributary of Tamas or Tons River.[1][2] The waterfall has a height of 145 metres (476 ft).[3][4] Some say it is on the river Sellar.[5]
The Bahuti Falls is an example of a nick point caused by rejuvenation. Knick point, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall.[6]
Flora and Fauna
[edit]Rewa has a somewhat table landform. Bahuti Prapat lies on its north-eastern edge. Fauna species of Hyena, Nilgai, Jackal, Bengal Monster Lizard, Indian Roller Bird, Indian Grey Hornbill, Oriental Magpie Robin etc can be seen here.
Rewa
[edit]The region is elevated as compared to nearby districts. To reach Rewa, several ghats are to be encountered - Chhuhiya Ghat (South-east), Dramondganj Ghat (North-east), Sohagi-Chak Ghat (North) and Semariya Ghat (West) and Patpara Ghat (East). The terrain is rocky, with large proportions of Red and Laterite Soil (Murum).
