Shrine of Briharu Nag at Saraj
A low enclosure crosses a wooded slope beneath a tall upright post, with a distant mountain visible through the trees. The printed caption identifies the shrine of Briharu Nag at Saraj and specifies the post with the chakra of the sun. The post provides a slender vertical focus within the open landscape. Oldham uses this view in his study of solar and serpent worship.
