Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in India

See Wikipedia:

"Kavishaila is a rock monument made of megalithic rocks and dedicated to Kuvempu [revered writer and poet of Karnataka in India). It is on the top of a small hill in Kuppali. 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. A rock containing the etched signatures of Kuvempu, B. M. Srikantaiah and T S Venkannaiah is present near the monument. Poornachandra Tejaswi later engraved his signature on the same rock. The scenery around this place is breathtaking. Granite slabs containing engraved poems and quotes of Kuvempu have been placed near the monument."

There are many pictures of this on Flickr and Instagram. Kuvempu was clearly a beloved and respected writer and figure.
