<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The word 'Dhuandhar' is derived from two Hindi words - ''Dhuan'' (smoke) and ''Dhar'' (flow), meaning a waterfall where one can feel a smoky atmosphere (this smoke is formed by water vapour or the smoke cascade).<br />
<br />
==The Falls==<br />
The Dhuandhar Falls are located on the [[Narmada River]] in [[Bhedaghat]] and are 30 meters high. The Narmada River, making its way through the world-famous [[Marble Rocks]], narrows down and then plunges into a waterfall known as Dhuandhar. The plunge, which creates a bouncing mass of mist, is so powerful that its roar can be heard from a far distance.<br />
<br />
The best time to visit Dhuandhar Falls is during [[Sharad Purnima]], when Narmada Mahotsava is celebrated. The white marble rocks appear spectacular when the moonlight falls on them, rendering them a silvery appearance. [[Boating]] is available at Dhuandhar Falls.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://deepaksingh.me/breathtaking-waterfalls-india/|title=10 Breathtaking Waterfalls in Indian Subcontinent|website=Deepak Singh|language=en-US|access-date=2016-03-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160325024649/http://deepaksingh.me/breathtaking-waterfalls-india/|archive-date=25 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
