Anatomy was expected to form 30 degree angle all in all stairs as base . Firm hold of flourishing thick iron chains is must , though risk factor persists. Camera was strictly prohibited. Once pavement is through huge void ,where rocks of all shapes and sizes were harmonized awaits you. The formation inform of sarp (snake),throw oneself into the mouth and brooding oneself in drowsy tummy (as in void of cave) where every nook and cranny crammed with mysticism.
