If the same construction is modified so as to be bereft of any room in the top roof and so as
to be associated with a window in the form of parrot-cage, it becomes known as

such a way that the principal master room is provided with roof structure in the form of sabha
and the courtyard is rendered to be associated with sabhara member, it becomes known as
“Srikara”. With a width covering 12 units and a length covering 14 units, another construction
