Must visit Trek of Sahyadri Mountains, Harishchandra gadh.

If you are fortunate, you can see a very beautiful phenomenon, named “Indra Wajra”

When you reach the cliffs of these mountains, you can see clouds in front of you. You are standing above clouds when your shadow falls on clouds and the sun is behind you. You can see your shadow on the clouds and a rainbow, complete circular rainbow appears on the head of your shadow. If you are lucky enough, you will see this at this place named Kokan Kada.

Is that that your shadow under the rainbow @kapilbhosale ?

Yes @AdamGT

The beauty of this phenomenon is “you can see it on your own shadow only”. If someone standing along with you, you won’t see on his/her shadow. This is because of that particular viewing angle, I think :slight_smile:

Hello @RadieN

I am glad you noticed it.

This is some magic of light and shadows :). I haven’t used any special camera, a regular camera can capture it.

I appreciate your suggestions, I will take a look at other suggested links.
Thanks a ton :slight_smile:
