N1 の N2 (स्थान) (N1 no N2) — N1's N2 (position)
の joins a noun to a position word to make 'on top of / under…'.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
の links a noun to a position word: 「N の [position]」= 'N's [position].' e.g. つくえの 上 (tsukue no ue) = 'the top of the desk', えきの 前 (eki no mae) = 'in front of the station.' Such a location phrase then joins with 〜です or 〜に あります/います. e.g. ぎんこうは えきの 前です (ginkou wa eki no mae desu) = 'The bank is in front of the station.'
