On the outside of the main residential chamber, there should be a corridor occupying one
unit and 8 facades for the assembly hall designed in such a way that its ridge beams
are crossing at right angles and closely linked to the main chamber. Inside the main hall at
the front side, two gables in the form of sabha or s'a'la' are to be provided in its two sides
in the same way as the multifarious s'a'la's are designed. Outside this construction, a passage
should be provided all around so as to occupy one part. Outside this, in the space covering
5 parts allocated for projection, four porticos should be provided in all the four directions,
each one with a width of 10 parts. In the same location, a central courtyard should be
designed aligned to the passage occupying a width of 10 parts. Such courtyard should be in
all the intermediary deirections, each one covering a width of 4 parts.
