The falls

July 2010.

Situated at an edge of the Ranchi plateau, the Jonha Falls is an example of a hanging valley falls. The Gunga River hangs over its master stream, Raru River and forms the falls.[1] One has to descend 722 steps to admire the surroundings.[2] Water in the falls drops from a height of 43 metres (141 ft).[3]

The Jonha 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.[4]

Culture

There is a tourist rest house which encloses a Buddhist shrine with a deity of Lord Gautama Buddha.[2] A temple and an ashram dedicated to Buddha was built atop Gautam Pahar by the sons of Raja Baldevdas Birla.[5] A fair is organized in Jonha every Tuesday and Saturday.[2]

Transport

The Jonha Falls is 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Ranchi. It is approachable by both road and train.[6] Jonha Station is just 1.5 km from the fall. For travel by road, one has to take the Ranchi-Purulia Road and after travelling for about 20 miles (32 km) one has to travel about 3 miles (4.8 km) off the main road.[7]
