In the *Sabhā-parvan* of the *Mahābhārata* are referred to several halls belonging to the Pāṇḍavas (Chap. I), to Indra (Chap. VII), to Yama (Chap. VIII), to Varuṇa (Chap. IX), to Kubera (Chap. X), and to Brahmā (Chap. XI). The description of every one of these lacks in the architectural details which are necessary for any fruitful comparison. None of the ancient Indian halls or palaces appears to have any substantial resemblance with the Persian open, walled, pillared, or unstoreyed halls.
