Seen here is one of the most damaged hero stones fragments found within the Suswani Mata Temple Complex. Carved on a rectangular slab with a triangular top, this fragment features figures carved inside a relief niche. Although not clearly visible, the carving depicts the hero riding on a horse. The presence of inscriptions on the lower portion of the hero stones is uncertain due to its condition. However, given its stylistically similarity to adjacent fragments, it is plausible that this fragment originally included some form of inscription.
