of 9 major units, there should be a sabha having a width of 2 parts and a length of 4 parts.

principal protective wall – all these should be provided according to their corresponding
units. Even the hall at the front side should also be with proportionate measure. In the
remaining space, there should be a gutter. The height of the principal room (Master`s
Chamber) should be equal to half of its length. The pavilion should be given an elegant
appearance with ornamental member known as chain.
