Marble walls tower from the banks of the Narmada River in Behdhaghat. They soar on both sides glittering under the sheen of the cool waters of the river. An atmosphere of serenity defines the entire place. As the sunlight playfully alights on the mirror like waters of the river, the entire area bursts into a lovely glimmer as the marble pinnacles try to outdo the river in reflecting the light of the Sun.
