Over 24 million years ago occurred these deposits of sandstones and minerals that were tilted by the collision of the Eurasian and Indo-Australian tectonic plates. Wind, rain, and time sculptured outstanding landforms with various colors, patterns, and sizes. These colorful, smooth, and sharp ridges resemble flowing shades of reds, yellows, and oranges.
