Wonderful falls located in the forest.Shenbaga Devi Falls is one of the revered places in the region. The beautiful waterfall is positioned on the way to Honey Falls. This location can also be accessed from the Main Falls, which is also a popular trekking route. It is located at a distance of 2 Kms from the Main Falls and 3 Kms from Courtallam Bus Stand. The water source of Shenbaga Devi Falls is the River Chitraru. Thenaruvi or Honey Falls continue to flow through the River Chitraru, as the Shenbaga Devi Falls. A rock bordered pool is a visitor’s delight, as they enjoy swimming and bathing in its waters. As good as a whole family of 10 members can enjoy in this large water body, unlike the other cascades. However, the entrance to the falls is restricted during the monsoon months, due to the heavy flow of water. Sitting by the pool of the falls, with a surrounding view of the Kutralam Valley, adds to the heavenly beauty of the cascade Shenbaga Devi Falls is named after the name of nearby village, Shenbaga Devi that features a temple of Goddess Shenbaga Devi, reincarnation of Goddess Durga. Owing to religious significance, devotees visit the place in large number to pay homage. During full moon days large crowds visit this temple. Fragrant Shenbaga flowers on the way to the temple are a popular buy to be offered at the shrine. Shenbaga Devi falls is situated above Chitraruvi Falls. Shenbaga Devi falls can be reached by trekking for 30 minutes and the water flows from a height of 42 feet (14 Meters). The falls are surrounded by Shenbaga trees that bear fragrant Shenbaga flowers that are offered to Amman in Shenbaga Devi Temple. Any festival done in Thirukutralanaathar Temple starts from this Shenbaga Devi temple. During the Tamil month of Chithirai a ten day festival is arranged which ends in a special prayer on Pournami (Full Moon).

One of the best places in Courtallam. Very majestic falls and scenic location and temple. We use to go there frequently with my friends during childhood. Now forest department doesn't allow to bathe in this falls which is good actually. It is the source of municipality water for some areas and also protects the natural ecosystem of the area.

We need to take prior permission from the forest team, usually they will allow us to visit temple on Tuesday, Friday & Chitra pournami.

Bucketlist for tenkasi visitors but need forest department permission. Ambient, fresh water. 2 small waterpond to reach shengaba devi waterfalls.

Good, but won't be permitted to go because it's inside the forest. And will be permitted to visit temple nearby still we cannot get down at falls

I have no words to describe the experience of senbaga devi falls and temple. It's a God gift and we realize pure spiritual vibes of devi senbagammal. Water is very very pure and clean Very very healthy water. 30mins of trekking to improve your physical and energy gains from highly fresh water. Pournami poojas are very special.

Beautiful, nature as it is without any devastation.

An ambient waterfall with cool and pure water. It is less polluted comparing with the other waterfalls in courtallam, may be because of the authorities taking care to clean the area, due to there lies a Drinking water supply base functioning. But even though the devoties visiting the temple situated there are depositing the wastes after the rituals in and around the falls and this makes the monkey population in there also increased.

Mindfulness place. We have lot of relaxation our soul and Devine feeling

Great attraction many visiters. Worth a visit. Take a “shower” !

Earlier many tapasvis used to meditate in the caves around this sacred place. Many years back when we visited, we met a few of them. An old tapasvini used to stay in the cave next to the waterfall just behind the temple. Nowadays prior permission from the Tamil Nadu forest department is needed to enter the area.
