| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The Nag or spring is contained in a perfectly square pool and is said to be fairly deep. The source of water to the spring is believed to be the nearby hill, called Suriten which according to locals is volcanic and therefore the water of the spring has a content of sulphur. The spring is located next to the road slightly below its surface. The water fills the pool from an external channeled source. There is a narrow drain around three sides of the pool pavement. The spring at present is fenced on the front to avoid any possible accidents. |
