Here you can see fragmentary remains of the lingam, the phallic symbol of the Hindu god Shiva, and its female counterpart the yoni, plus a statue of Shiva's son, the elephant-headed god Ganesha.
Apart from the rock-wall carvings and a central meditational cave, you will also find bathing pools and fountains. At the southern end are beautiful rice fields and small streams that lead to the Petanu River.
