parts.There should be a courtyard occupying 4 parts. Outside the building, 2 parts
should be left out free. Outside this free area, there should be a corridor occupying one
part. An engaged structure should be built outside the corridor. In all the four corners,
4 rostums should be provided so as to occupy 4 parts, outside the engaged structure. These
rostums should be provided with 4 facades. In between them, 4 buildings should be
constructed with a width covering 2 parts and a length covering 4 parts. The roof structures
should be such that their ridge beams are crossing at right angles. A frontal corridor should
be designed. Ornamental structures such as the band of chains(hara bandha) should be
