~~~The River Narmada plunges in a waterfall known as Dhuandhar Falls or the smoke cascade. The plunge is so powerful that its roar can be heard from a disance. These Falls are a spectacular sight of nature's power.

Fabulous waterfall, and I can see the "smoke" in your photo.
The word "smoke" was also applied by the local people to Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river in Africa. They called it "Mosi-oa-Tunya" - the Smoke that Thunders.
Interestingly, I have never heard the word "smoke" used to describe the famous Canadian/American Niagara Falls on the border of Ontario and New York. At least one native nation considered the Falls divine, and the mist that rose up from it the home of the divinity, to which they made sacrifices.
I think early peoples realized, whereas "civilized" nations did not, the importance of water in the cycle of life.

Thank you for commenting on my blog.
This is overwhelming shot! Scary but gorgeous.
I like this. It reminds a little of Niagara, even if that oen is higher.
that looks like it has the power of a niagra and half its size. wonderful capture.

you can feel the strength of the rushing water in this photo. Great!
This is a very beautiful place from India. Simply Breathtaking.
I never saw Dhuadhar through my own eyes although I have seen its mysterious faces so many times through Lopa's album...and I always find it new with dynamism that connects so much with life...life indeed is bold, smoky, flowing, vibrant, irrigating, irresistible...and more so relevant in inevitable falls enriching itself in its pursuit of losing finally into a boundless expanse of profundity...and, this one again presents me just such an awesome feeling, Celine.
Take care,
Wonderful picture!!
