Grand Canyons!!!

Eureka!
Yes Canyons! and not a Grand Canyon!
There are two similar ones.

One in USA.
One in India.

They are located on different longitudes and are almost 16,000 Kms apart.
Separated by mighty oceans.
Both are however located, almost on the same latitudes.

Both have been carved out by two mighty rivers!
The one in USA, by the famous Colorado.
Named,the Grand Canyon, it is a 'must see' by any tourist visiting USA!

The one in India has been carved out by the river Krishna!
Very deep and very beautiful.
A must visit by one and all, as it has a scenic beauty unparalleled, as well.
The main attractiona on its shores are: the very old and well respected "Shakti Peeth" called "Srisailam" and a equally famous, tiger sanctuary.

Both are located within driving distance of two, 5th largest cities, of the respective countries.
The one in USA, within the vicinity of city of Phoenix.
The one in India, within the vicinity of city of Hyderabad.


Each has it sown charm with striking similarities.
Each is grandeur than the other, in its own uniqueness.
Each has its own signature value too, but common cutting tools: water and wind.

What needs to be noted is the fact that natural works of magnitude and magnificence as these two, do bear stark resemblance, though happen to be separated by thousands on miles from one another.

The rivers responsible for creating them flow on almost the same latitudes.
Now that is no coincidence!
The gorges carved by the two, are hundreds of feet deep!

On visiting both, I am sure you would also question the creator.
Like I did.

Does the Creator love to replicate, too?
If so why?
The how is,quite evident.

Replicate;using his powerful tools, (water and wind) in stark similarity, here in India and there in USA.Over long, long durations of time?

To carve and create natural wonders,such as these two Grand Canyons?
