sahastradhara means a 100 streams.the narmada river after pasing maheshwar breaks into a turbulent flow due to natural rocks obstructing it.legend has it that a demon once tried to capture the river by blocking its path but the river goddess narmada broke through the barrier by breaking up into small streams and continuing her onward journey towards the arabian sea.
the narmada river cruise takes you to the spot where the sahastradhara falls are actually they are more of rapids rather than a waterfall.
