A set of steps flanked by two Nagaraja guard stones. The guard stones each depict Nagaraja, an anthropomorphic representation of the cobra king. He is standing and holding a pot in one hand and a sprouting branch in the other hand. A simple moon-stone, which is a semi-circular stone slab, is at the base of the steps.
