30 kms |
1. The Small village of
Jabalpur tehsil situated on the bank of river Narmada and widely
famous for its marble Rocks is at a distance about 21 Km from
Jabalpur by road. Soaring in glittering splendour, the Marble
Rocks at Bhedaghat rise to a hundred feet on either
side of the
Narmada. The
serene loveliness of the scene is one of cool quiet, the
sunlight sparkling on the marble-white pinnacles and casting
dappled shadows on the pellucid waters. Sunlight, now glancing
from a pinnacle of snow-white marble reared against the deep
blue of the sky as from a point of silver ; touching here and
there with bright lights the prominences of the middle heights;
and again losing itself in the soft bluish grays of their
recesses….. Here and there the white saccharine limestone is
seamed by veins of dark green or black volcanic rock; a contrast
which only enhances, like a setting of jet, the purity of the
surrounding marble."
2.
The Narmada, making its way through the Marble Rocks, Narrows
down and then plunges in a waterfall Rocks,narrow down and then
plinges in a waterfall known as Dhuandhar or the smoke cascade.
So powerful is the plunge that its roar is heard from a far
distance, The falls and the breaking of the volume of water at
the crest present an awesome spectacle of Nature's power
unleashed. |
