	In the long range of hills south of the border of [[Gaya district]], well inside [[Chatra district]], there are two waterfalls of the Mohana. The first at Tamasin is at the head of deep valley where the river plunges abruptly down a high steep face of black rock in to a shady pool below and then dashes down a gloomy gorge of strangely contorted rock; the lower falls at Hariakhal presents a scene of more placid beauty, as here the river, issuing through a picturesque glen, glides down the sloping slide of red rocks into a still, large pond surrounded by high wooden banks.
