Elephant Falls Shillong Meghalaya Stock Photography

Elephant Falls was the British name of what the local Khasi people once referred to as Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew or `Three Steps Waterfalls` since the falls actually consisted of three sections in succession. We learned from a sign here that the British renamed the falls because there used to be a rock resembling an elephant near the left side of the main falls which I think was the bottommost one. However, that rock was destroyed in an earthquake back in 1897
