The foaming waters sparkle vibrantly, acting as a delightful contrast to the unmelting hardness of the granite-bed from which it cascades through the sun-dappled jungle.

Echoing its joyful song, birds and bathers thronging the pool created by the swirling waters seem to give thanks to liari and Shankar, the reigning deities of Harishankar Temple perched on the southern slope of Gandhamardan hills. The hill side is famed for medicinal plants. It is about 81 km from Balangir.
