The Shabari Fall

• There is a beautiful spring at the origin of Payaswini near Jamunihai village , about 8 Km. to the south of Markundi, a frontier village of the district. 
• One spring just below another, this fall is unique in the entire country. It is more glamorous and charming than even the Dhuandhar Fall of Bhedaghat, Jabalpur or the Rupahaladhuwan Fall of Rewa Chechai. 
• There is a huge water reservoir below which is very deep and is also known as the Mandakini Kund. 
• This Fall was discovered by the District Magistrate-Chitrakoot, Sri Jagannath Singh during his tour on July 31st, 1998 and was named and dedicated by him. 
• No one except the local villagers had reached this place earlier. Nor was it known to the people.

• Viradh – Kund About 6 Km. to the east of the Shabari Fall and at the meeting point of Bambiha and Tikariya villages on the Amrawati Ashram road, there is a vast reservoir of water known as Viradh–Kund. 
• According to a popular belief, this reaches down to the Patal Lok. There is a well accepted legend that a terrible monster Viradh used to live here and was later killed by Sri Ram during his exile. 
• This Kund was the monster’s place of shelter and through it he could escape down to the nether world ( i.e. Patal ). Adventure-loving tourist, will definitely be attracted to this place.
