Tutla Bhawani Temple and Waterfall

Tutla Bhawani Temple and Waterfall is a revered Hindu shrine and seasonal waterfall located in the Kaimur Hills near Tilauthu in Rohtas district, Bihar. Dedicated to Goddess Tutla Bhawani, an incarnation of Durga, the temple sits inside a forested gorge with a waterfall cascading nearby. Surrounded by dense forest and rocky hills, it attracts pilgrims and nature visitors, especially during monsoon when the falls are active and during Navratri festivals.

Visitors can expect a temple complex set within a narrow forested gorge of the Kaimur Range, with a seasonal waterfall flowing beside the shrine. The approach involves a walk through wooded hills and rocky terrain leading to the sanctum, small natural pools and cascades at the base of the falls, and scenic views of the surrounding hills and forest. The site combines religious structures, natural landscape and picnic areas explored on foot.
