Segmented waterfalls occur where the water flow is broken into two or more channels before
dropping over a cliff, resulting in multiple side by side waterfalls. It has an average width of 849
meters, a height of 90 m, and an average volume of 934 cubic meters / sec. Gaganachukki on
the left is a large horsetail waterfall[11]and Barachukki (also spelled Bharachukki) on the right is a
jagged crashing cascading waterfall. During the monsoon season this waterfall grows enormous,
perhaps a thousand feet in width. The right waterfall is the Bharachukki.[12]Asia's first hydro-
electric power stations, still functional, is located at the waterfall.[13]This station was
commissioned by theDiwanofMysore, SirK. Seshadri Iyer. The electricity produced here was
initially used in theKolar Gold Fields. Thus,Kolar Gold Fieldsbecame the first town inAsiato get

eastward flowing Kaveri river changes course and seems magnificently vast as here the sand on
its banks spreads over a wide area.[15]

At Talakad sand covers the temples. Stone pillars, square at the base and made to fit into a wheel below
theabacus, lie scattered about.[14]Among the temples of Talakad, the Pathaleshwara, Maruleshwara,
Arkeshwara, Vaidyanathee-shwara and Mallikarjuna temples, the fiveLingamsbelieved to represent the
five faces of Shiva, form thePancha pathiand have become famous.[16]In honour of these

Aihole:[11]
a former Chalukya trading city. There are around 140 temples including examples of
earlyChalukya,Rashtrakutaand later Chalukya dynasties from the 6th to 12th centuries. It has a
Jain and Vedic rock-cut shrine, both of about the 6th century. It has Tirthankara images and a Durga
temple. The meguti on a hill is a jaina basti which has an Aihole inscription of Pulikeshin 2 and also a
Buddhist two-storied rock -cut shrine below it. All the other Jain and Buddhist temples are built of
stone and resemble Hindu temples. The temples were built during the Middle Ages before any style
was established and hence there is a mixture of styles.
