Dudhsagar is a four-tiered waterfall located in the Western Ghats of India. It is one of the most prominent and beautiful waterfalls in the country. The waterfall is situated on the Mandovi River in the state of Goa, near the border with Karnataka. The name "Dudhsagar" means ‘sea of milk’. The milky appearance of the water forms when it cascades down the rocky tiers, resembling a stream of milk.
Mythical story!
This Sea of Milk name for Dudhsagar Waterfall came from the myth associated with it. The story goes like this once there was a princess, she was the daughter of king of ghats. She used to go to nearby lake to bath and along with her, the maidens used to drink milk from the jug. One day a prince was crossing the lake and hearing the sound of laughter of princess and the maiden he stopped. Maidens poured the jug of milk in the water around her to save her honor. Hence the name “Dudhsagar”.
