The story
Dhua Kund is a pair of waterfalls on the Kav river in the Kaimur Range near Sasaram, Bihar. The falls are of the cataract and segmented types and rely on the rains for their flow; their potential for generating hydroelectricity has been put at 50 to 120 MW.
Each year on Raksha Bandhan a festival is organised in the grounds around the waterfalls.
