| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The building was originally a three-arched dalan measuring approx. 14 m north to south by 4 m east to west and has opening to the west. It was constructed of rubble masonry coated with plaster and the supporting pillars of the arched openings were of local grey stone. A few stone brackets project over these arched openings and have supported a chhajja. Now only the eastern wall now remains, together with a staircase at the northern end which would have led to the flat roof. The structure has been encroached upon and occupied for the dwelling. Original ground level has been buried and only the exposed broken remains of the arch is visible. New modern brick masonry wall has been erected on the ruins of the Majlis Khana. |
