This structure, which appears to the right edge of the image, is situated in a semi-arid region in eastern Rajasthan. A ring of hills of about 3 kilometers in diameter and a small central peak are conspicuous. Although evidence of shock metamorphism that would prove an impact origin has not yet been presented, the surface morphology suggests that this is a likely impact crater.
