Wind and water erosions in this salt-covered land have created an unparalleled variety of rock carvings and columns, each of which is unique. This diversity is due to the difference in the degree of erodibility of the rocks and the columns resulting from this erosion have a special and different image.

The Throne of the Demon is one of the impressive and always strong pillars of Jashk, which is named after its characteristics. An important point in the salt crystals of the columns of this region is the variety of colors of the rock rock layers.
