text: Stone work in fact is characteristic of the village. Each Khel has a walled meeting place with stone seats.
text: Although there are six Khels and each is well defined the village gates are over-old and not a single one is new.
text: The village has however a fair number of mithan carvings and house horns, though Y posts are entirely absent. In their place, I noticed several courtyards with poles, like tall diagonals.
