It is made from black rock and seated on a pedestal facing west direction. This statue has a height of 3.5 feet and the head also possess markings that resemble a headgear. Local accounts attribute the inflicted damages to either of two different (although unproven) possible causes: o a charging elephant enraged by the villagers and o The forces of a Mughal king who ordered the Buddhist statues to be destroyed across India.
