Unchalli Falls, also known as Lushington Falls, is a waterfall created by a 116-metre (381 ft) drop in the River Aghanashini in Karnataka, India. The falls are located 35 km (22 mi) from Sirsi . The falls were named for J. D. Lushington, a District Collector for the British Government, who discovered the falls in 1845.[1] It is one of world's five waterfalls where one can witness the extremely rare phenomena "Moonbows".[2]
The falls are sometimes called Keppa Joga because of the deafening sound they make.
