Summary edit

Description
English: Photographs taken and published by Joseph David Beglar in 1874-78. Beglar estimated that these Buddhist and Brahamanical artwork and reliefs were from the eighth century CE or before.

The village has a waterfall near which some of excavated ruins are displayed in the contemporary times. The waterfall goes over a historic cut stone channel and finally comes out of a stone cut in the shape of a cow's mouth making "tur tur" sound, giving the location its name, "Turturiya".
