DudhSagar in Monsoon -Sea of milk



Dudhsagar Falls is listed as India's 5th tallest waterfall,and is 227th in the world at 310 m
Like most places in Goa, the Dudhsagar waterfall too has a legend attached to its name. The legend tells the story of this powerful and wealthy king who ruled a kingdom in the Western Ghats. He lived on the top of a mountain in the Western Ghats along the Goan frontier. He lived in a lavish palace made of pure ivory and embedded by precious stones. And around this palace, there were luxuriant gardens abounding in a vast variety of flowers. At one end of the forest, which fringed the king's palace, there was a picturesque lake. In the panoramic setting of this lake, the king's daughter, accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting, went to bathe and to sip sugared milk which one of her maids served to her in a pure gold jug. One day, while she was sipping at the milk, a prince, who was passing by, stopped on hearing the sound of people nearby. Immediately, the princess poured the milk in the pond to shield her body from the glances of the stranger. It is believed that the sugared milk that was poured by the virtuous and modest princess still comes flowing down in torrents along that side of the mountain.

ಕಥೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಚನ್ನಾಗಿದೆ. ೩ನೇ ಚಿತ್ರ ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ತೆಗೆದದು ಮಾರಾಯ.ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಮಳೆಯಾದ ಕಾರಣ ಸಕತ್ತು ನೀರು .
