Situated to the south of the Koga (Kowga) village, 9 x 5 km intrusion of nepheline syenite, it lies within the Babaji peralkaline syenites and granites to the west and south, which are part of Ambela Granite Complex, Mardan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, and the Chingalai granodiorite gneiss to the SE. The northern limit of the foid syenites is concealed beneath alluvium (Siddiqui et al. 1969).
