Tilothu is a little town in Rohtas district, Bihar, India, 15 km from Dehri-on-Sone. This city got its name from Lord Tileshwarnath, a form of Lord Shiva.
It was ruled over by Raja Shahmal before independence whose fort still refresh the reminiscences of its owner.
Kaimur pahari stands erect in the west of the city whereas the river Sone blesses the farmers with its water in the east.
It may be developed as a tourist place. A waterfall is located at the far end of this small city. It has religious importance i.e. one of Maa Shakti's forms in form of a cave is located alongside the waterfall. The waterfall is a hot spot of picnic for people from the near villages. The negligence attitude and the fear of naxalites hinders the required exposure to this place.
