Arranged in a circular fashion, the rocks have been placed to resemble the Stonehenge in England.

At the centre of this rock monument is the place where Kuvempu was laid to rest after his death and a memorial has been constructed at that location.

Near this monument, is a small rock where Kuvempu used to sit and discuss about literature and other topics with his other litterateur friends.
