It is the second highest plunge waterfall in India, after Nohkalikai Falls in Meghalaya. The falls are located on the Sharavathi River, about 160 kilometers (99 mi) from Shimoga city in Karnataka.<\/p>\n<p>The falls are formed when the Sharavathi River plunges over a series of cliffs, creating a total drop of 830 feet (253 m). The falls are at their best during the monsoon season, when the river is in full spate.<\/p>\n<p>Jog Falls is a popular tourist destination. The falls are also a sacred site for Hindus, who believe that the river is a manifestation of the goddess Sharavathi.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Athirappilly Falls is located in Kerala, not Karnataka.<\/li>\n<li>Dudhsagar Falls is located in Goa, not Karnataka.<\/li>\n<li>Hogenakkal Falls is located in Tamil Nadu, not Karnataka.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Jog Falls&#8221;
