They run in a straight line nearly as far as the eye can reach; but the one leading to the Lahorgate is much the longer. In regard to houses the two streets are exactly alike. As in our Place Royale, there are arcades on both sides; with this difference, however, that they are only brick, and that the top serves for a terrace and has no additional building. They also differ from the Place Royale in not having an uninterrupted opening from one to the other, but are generally separated by partitions, in the spaces between which are open shops, where, during the day, artisans work, bankers sit for the despatch of their business, and merchants exhibit their wares. Within the arch is a small door, opening into a warehouse, in which these wares are deposited for the night. - [Previous: 5.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.2.1) - [Next: 5.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.2.3) - [Up: 5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.2.2) · Pramāṇa
