It was Kanhakund in Odisha, where the IB river has carved out a beautiful canyon on its way. The spot near Balisankar village in Sundargarh, around 128 km from the city of Sambalpur, has clear blue waters passing through granite beds creating a wonder of nature.While referring to a post on social media platform X, the business tycoon called for transforming it into a national and global tourism hotspot. He further asserted that there was no need to compare this beautiful sight with the Grand Canyon, a natural wonder in Arizona, US, as mentioned in the post.“No need to compare it to the Grand Canyon. This is unique in its own way,” he wrote.Anand Mahindra’s post quickly gained over 556k views, with netizens commenting about the ‘unexplored gems’ in India.Soon enough, Odisha Tourism reacted to his post: “Thank you! We’re thrilled to have your attention on Kanhakund, one of Odisha’s most stunning hidden gems which has the potential to become a national and global hotspot.
