The holy river flows by tranquilly flanked by the towering cliffs which reflect in it like a mirror the changing moods of nature. A little distance away, it becomes turbulent as it plunges in a mighty water fall known as Dhuandhar. In his Highlands of Central India Captain J. Forsyth speaks eloquently about the infinitely varied beauty of the rocks: "the eye never wearies of the ... effect produced by the broken and reflected 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 prominence 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."

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. These
white rocks with views of black and dark green volcanic seams are truly
majestic, and produce a magical effect on moonlit nights.
