In his 'Highlands of Central India' Captain J.Forsyth speaks eloquently about the infinitely varied beauty of the Rocks: "The eye never wearies of the... effect produced by the broken and reflected sunlight, now glancing from a pinnacle of snow-white marble reared against the deep blue of the sky as from a point of silver; touching here and there with bright lights the prominences of the middle heights; and again .losing itself in the soft bluish greys of their recesses...

Here and there the white saccharine limestone is seamed by veins of dark green or black volcanic rock; a contrast which only enhances, like a setting of jet, the purity of the surrounding marble."
