The principal remains are some thirty-five vīragals and other inscribed stones. The largest group is at the junction of the main road, from Bhatkal to Honāvar, with the branch road running to Murdeśvara village. There are, here, twenty stones, in a line, canted over at different angles, one of which has fallen and is broken. Just beyond the bridge, near the last, in a field on the east of the main road, is a small cluster of stones, some being partly buried in the bank between the fields.
