[td]There are 2 huge granite obelisks of around 30 feet tall (from the ground-level) at the beginning of the stairs to the hill, which easily weigh around 15-20,000 kilos each, and are placed in a pi-symbol-like format using a granite slab on these two obelisks. Many are not sure who made this and why, and how much feet it goes below the ground level to support its immense height and weight. There is a belief that if at all anyone manages to place a small stone on the horizontal stone slab placed on the obelisks, then their wishes will be fulfilled. A similar structure is also seen after few steps up on the stairway to the summit, but it is a very small one (around 8β10 feet tall).[/td] [td][/td]

If you throw any kind of stone onto it, the stone you throw will break into some pieces for sure. This might be due to gravity, as the slanted rock is a few feet below the ground-level from where the stones are thrown.[/td]
