- Photo title: Chitrakote Falls on the Indravati River near Jagdalpur, Bastar District, Chattisgarh, India

- Cover photo description:
- The Indravati River which rises in the Vindhya Mountains on the Orissa plateau meanders west, mostly on level ground, before its first drop at the Chitrakote falls. The height of the falls is about 29 metres. Water flow over the falls varies with the seasons. During the monsoons, the entire rock face is covered with water and is brownish in color, due to the mud and silt carried by the fast flowing Indravati river, which is in flood. It then reaches a width of nearly 300 metres, covering the entire rock face, making it India`s widest waterfall. Because of its width, the horseshoe shape of the rock face and the sheer volume of water, it is often called the ‘Niagara Falls of India’. After the monsoon rains are over the water flow reduces, exposing large areas of jagged rock, as seen in the photograph. Local boats, as seen in the picture, take tourists right under the misty spray of the falls, to the pool formed below. This photo was taken during the low flow season after the monsoons, on a bright day, with clear blue skies, using a Canon DSLR EOS 550D, at 1/500 second, f/8 and focal length of 20mm.
