•Geological Survey of India (GSI) discovered a spectacular "Natural Arch" in the Kanika range of Sundargarh forest division in Odisha. •The Natural Arch is believed to have formed during the Jurassic epoch. •It has been given the Geo Heritage badge by GSI, making it the largest natural arch in India with this designation. •The arch is 12 meters high and 30 meters long at its base, with an alcove reaching a maximum height and breadth of 7 and 15 meters respectively. •The site exhibits fundamental sedimentary formations, including planner and cross-bedding, indicating a high-energy fluvial setting. •The arch was formed due to fault activity and unique lithotype characteristics allowing for sub-aerial weathering. •Sundargarh Natural Arch is a geo heritage site requiring special care and protection. •GSI designates and protects these sites in collaboration with relevant State governments. •Geo Heritage Sites (GHSs) have rare geological, geomorphological, mineralogical, petrological, and paleontological aspects. •GSI plays a crucial role in locating, recognizing, and safeguarding these important geological sites.
