The Ethipothala falls derives its name from two words - "eththi" and "potha". In Telugu language, it means to "lift and pour". Ethipothala Waterfalls are striking falls on River Chandravanka (a tributary of River Krishna), towards the down flow of Nagarjuna Sagar Dam. Ethipothala is a famous Waterfall formed by the mountain streams which falls from a height of approximately 70 Feet into a lagoon. Three streams namely Nakka Vagu, Tummala Vagu and Chandravanka Vagu combine to form this waterfall. The name Ethipothala has been derived from the Sanskrit word 'Etitaposthal' meaning the place for penance. It is believed that saints have performed rigorous penance at this place. The caves nearby also attest their presence at this place.
