The Sharda Devi Temple at Maihar stands on top of Trikuta hill and is one of the most visited goddess shrines in central India. Pilgrims climb 1,063 steps to reach it, or take the ropeway. Local tradition links the temple with the warrior brothers Alha and Udal. Maihar is also famous in music as the home of Ustad Allauddin Khan. Navratri brings very large crowds.

Purwa Falls is a broad waterfall on the Tons River in Rewa district, where the river drops about 70 metres off the plateau into a wide gorge. Unlike some neighbouring falls it carries a good volume of water for much of the year. It is impressive in the monsoon, when brown water fills the whole lip. Viewpoints are on the rim; take care near unfenced edges.

Chachai Falls, on the Bihad River in Rewa district, plunges about 130 metres from the edge of the Rewa plateau into a deep gorge, making it one of the highest waterfalls in Madhya Pradesh. Upstream water use means it flows strongly only in the monsoon and for a short while afterwards. The rim gives sweeping views; there are few railings, so keep well back from the edge.

Keoti Falls, in Rewa district, drops about 98 metres in a single leap where the Mahana River leaves the Rewa plateau. It is among the tallest waterfalls in India. Viewpoints on the rim look into the horseshoe gorge and across to the ruins of an old fort. The fall is at its most impressive during and just after the monsoon and shrinks greatly in summer.
