The potholes of the Kukadi River at Nighoj are a fascinating natural formation shaped over time by the continuous flow of water through basaltic rock. Located in Maharashtra, this unique geological site showcases deep, circular depressions created by the river’s erosive forces, aided by pebbles and sediments. These striking formations highlight the dynamic process of rock weathering and river action, making Nighoj a captivating destination for geographers, geologists and nature lovers.
