Four main buildings should be constructed above the floor beams and they should be
provided with 8 frontal sides. Pavilion-like hall should be designed one above the other
and a courtyard should be provided. The complex should be associated with portico called
sabha'n'ga in all its four sides. Such construction is in the jati mode of the medium svastika.

The same construction assumes the chanda mode of medium svastika, when it is provided
with a verandah around occupying one part. It turns into vikalpa mode, when a bigger
corridor is provided to that so as to occupy 2 parts. Consequently, this vikalpa assumes the
form of a'bha'sa mode, when it is provided with the main features of jati and others in a
combined pattern and embellished with mun.d'a pra's'ada, harmya'n'ga or malika'n'ga.
These are the constructions belonging to the medium type of svastika.
