In a place where catus's'a'la' type of building has been constructed, the architect
should design the lowest floor(first floor). That should be ornamented with suitable
hall and top-tower.

In all the four corners, four niches(towers) are to be built, their dimensions
synchronizing with those of the corners. In the four parts or two parts behind the
main building, a hall is to be built so as to look like a decorated stage.
