Hooded cobra forms, coiled snakes and small carved figures rise in tiers across the surface, with a few stones showing black, gold and red paint or kumkum-like marks. Scratched graffiti and faded marks appear on some stones. A white wall forms the background at the top. No people are visible in the frame.
