This twin-streamed
fall flows over a protruding rock face and resembles an upturned receptacle
used for carrying water. It is 7m high and 12m wide. Upstream, the woodland
contains several hal (Vateria copellifera) trees, the fruits of which fall
into the stream and drift over the fall, hence its name. Superstitious villagers
claim they hear the sound of clothes being washed in the water.
The fall is situated
in Amunutenne village, Ratnapura District, which can be reached along the
Ratnapura - Welelwatte road.
