The village is majorly known for housing the spectacular gorge, famously known as the Grand Canyon of India. Gorges are formed when rivers erode through gigantic rock formations over thousands of years. The stunning gorge has been created by the waters of the famous river Pennar that streams from the Erramala hills in southern India. Penna (also known as Pinakini, Pennar, Penner, Penneru, Pennai). The swift-flowing waters of River Pennar cut through the granite rocks near the village of Gandikota, naturally eroding the rock and forming a deep valley. Gandikota got its name from \u2018gandi\u2019 the Telugu word for \u2018gorge\u2019. Pennar River streams from the Erramala hills.
