Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Jharkhand.
The Bagodar Dolmen has a gargantuan capstone over thirty feet in length and is about ten feet wide. It has been placed on equally huge orthostats with only a few feet between them.

The dolmen is placed on a rocky outcrop which surprisingly is naturally positioned at the intersection of three hills of which one is Arar, a name meaning the constellation of Orion. The space between the orthostats has been decorated as a small Hindu temple.

Dhekia Pathar construction
Dhekia Pathar construction submitted by bat400 : The dolmen from the South. Note the orthostat A and one of the two wedges which Prantik points (here at wedge 1). The both can be clearly seen to have been shoved below the capstone. Prantik points towards another wedge (wedge 2) stuffed below orthostat A.
