Rajagiri

Palace Zone

The inner fort area as seen from Rajagiri. The structures are dominated by the Kalyana Mahal, a six-storeyed structure overlooking a tank surrounded by an arcade. The Mahal has rows of arched openings on each side and a staircase block in the middle. The Parage Ground in front of the Mahal is flanked by stables and colonnades. The square structure next to it was probably a royal residence. Several large Granaries with curving brick vaults stand nearby, some with ornate plaster decoration.
