Jog Falls is a part of the Sharavathi River, dropping 253m (830 ft), making it the second-highest plunge waterfall in India. The power station was previously named Krishna Rajendra Hydroelectric Project, after the King of Mysore at the time. The name was later changed to Mahatma Gandhi Hydroelectric Project.
