There are multiple stream of falls and they are named raja, rani, roarer and rocket.
Roarer and rocket are called as grand children of Raja and Rani(i.e. King & Queen)

Tip: If your are visiting in off peak season. it is advised to visit on a weekend.
As you will find more water in the falls.
Wondering Why??
There is a Dam on Sharavathi river and in non monsoon season, More water is released on weekends.

Falls can be viewed from other side also, where you have the Bombay bumglow.
From here you can lie down on stone, just next to the point where the water falls down.
