ABOUT THE SITE_The site is complete hillock of
granite rock. Spheroidal weathering has given it a domal shape. Above it in
the central portion nature has kept thin pillar shaped rock. This looks
like big nail or pole from distance or the bottom of the hill.Which gives overall
look of a Budhistastup’. Local say goes like that if a
crow sits over the top most pillar of the
hill it will start oscillating. So the name Kaua(crow}dol (movement). Reminiscences of ashram of professor Shilvadra is
in east of the Hillock. A
very big statue of Lord Budha 8’ high 6’wide 4’ thick is Seen in padmasan sitting pose. Dilapidated statue

of Mokhry kings.
