It is a special small hill structure. It represents an interesting volcanic activity. But no geological information is available. Any expert geologist can take the task.

There is a legend, which says that a giant (Rakshas, a huge size humanlike being) used to smoke using a Chilim(An indigenous pipe). After his smoke is over, he emptied the ash from his instrument at this place and placed the stone from it on the heap of ash. As his own size was huge, his Chilim was also huge, with huge quantity of ash and huge size of stone. One can imagine about all these sizes by having a look at this hill.
