SAHASTRA DHARA, Kangra
32.100000,76.266700
Description
A dripping spring, which oozing through the conglomerate, forms stalactites [travertine / calcareous tufa speleothems] and encrusts every thing within its reach (PARISH, W H 1849: 368). SITUATION: Somewhere in the vicinity of the –>Kangra Natural Bridge, there are numerous other temples scattered about, and one is perched on the top of a precipice close by. Between this spot and the other is another deep fissure likewise worn away by a limpid stream. Near to where the water descends is a dripping spring, which oozing through the conglomerate, forms stalactites and encrusts every thing within its reach (PARISH, W H 1849: 368). VEGETATION: A large block of quartzite crumbling away under its destructive influence, but whilst the rock is yielding to the corrosive power of that spring, a delicate little fern drinking deep of its waters flourishes and grows luxuriantly. I believe the latter to be a species of adiantum (PARISH, W H 1849: 368).
