The inscription was carved on the face of the huge rock, displayed Brahmi characters. The spacing of letters suggest that the inscription originally consisted of two lines, letters visible at the bottom. Two ancient caves were spotted in precincts of the inscription. This site is probably associated with Kushan period.
