Gagana Chukki Falls

The Gagana Chukki Falls on the left bank of the river Kaveri, when observed from Shiva Samudra is a treat to watch. A side view of the fall from the bottom of the valley seen from the location of Dargah on the farther side of the valley gives the onlooker a special experience. Here is the left branch of the river Kaveri which fall from a height of about 300 feet, that looks like something falling from the sky with and hence the name ‘Gagana Chukki’. Madhya ranga; this is 25 kms southeast from Malavalli, five kms north from the hand post of Sattegala (Kollegal Taluk). This is a small island of about five km length and one and half km breadth formed by the river Kaveri and belongs to the revenue limits of the village Sattegala, the place being locally referred as ‘Heggura’. In this place, now referred as ‘Madhya Ranga’ is the temple of Shreeranganatha as well as temples of Someshwara and Veerabhadra.
