The musical pillars, as they are popularly known, emit musical tones when tapped gently.

The Stone Chariot is one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture. It is actually a temple carved out of stone in the shape of a chariot. It is said the wheels used to rotate until they were cemented to prevent them from damage.
