Kaigal Falls

Kaigal Falls

The Kaigal Falls, which are situated along the Kuppam Highway, is yet another popular tourist destination in Andhra Pradesh. Dumukurallu Waterfalls, another name for the Kaigal Falls, is a lovely spot to spend some time in nature.

The centerpiece of the falls is the water that shoots from a 40-foot-tall boulder. Even though the rock has water falling from it throughout the year, the monsoon months bring with them an abundance of this beautiful water. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Kaigal Stream Fall, which runs through the Koundinya Wildlife Sanctuary, is the ideal location.

The falls are situated halfway between Kaigal Village and Devadoddi. The busses now stop in Kaigal. Near the entryway is a portrait of Lord Hanuman. It's an almost two-kilometer hike into the dense jungle from here. Before you can see the water falling, you have to cross the river and turn left as soon as you enter the valley.

The goddess figurines are intricately carved onto the columns, and the brackets have pendent blooms. There are painted friezes and medallions on the beams.

Located in the southwest corner of the temple complex, the Kalyana mandapa is made up of four square columns that are elevated on a frieze-adorned platform. Miniature people, animals, and scrollwork are carved into the columns, brackets, and doors.
