Giriyeka now to the east of Rājagṛiha forms part of its architectural planning and was encircled by a rampart similar to that of Rājagṛiha. It is identified with the site of the ancient *Indra-Śaila Guhā* but at present one of its peaks is crowned by a solid tower of large bricks known as *Jarāsandha kā Baiṭhaka* and the other peak bears a flat terrace covered with ruins of several buildings, both connected with the foot of the hill by a steep pavement.
