description B&W photographic print. 'Stones commemorating liaisons. Mills notes in his Tour Diary: "By the side of the path near Thungje are the stones set up to commemorate the amorous exploits of Shikamba of that village, who died, a very old man, about ten years ago. At one end is a monolith of appropriate shape and beyond it a double line of ladies' stones, numbering forty in all, excluding a few small ones which denote offspring". Waipe may be another name for, or a khel of, Thungje.'
