Da: means water and song means pouring or measuring. The water fall resembles like somebody is pouring water so the name was Da:song earlier but afterwards the name was changed to Dassam. The fallsThe Dassam Falls is a natural cascade across the Kanchi River, a tributary of the Subarnarekha River. The water falls from a height of {{convert|44|m}}.[2] The sound of water echoes all around the place.[3] Dassam Falls at one of the edges of the Ranchi plateau is one of the many scarp falls in the region.[4] The Dassam Falls is an example of a nick point caused by rejuvenation. Knick point, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall.[5] The water of the Dassam Falls is very clean and clear. It is natural for a tourist to be enticed to enter the water for a bath or swim but tourists are warned not to do so because of the current that is generated. There have been many cases of drowning in Dassam Falls.[6] Nine people died of drowning between 2001 and 2006. [7]TransportThe Dassam Falls is {{convert|40|km}} from Ranchi on NH 33 or Ranchi-Jamshedpur highway. External links
