As mentioned above, at this sharp curve of the river Varadā the fort is built (Illn. A4). The interior measures 850 metres North-South and 600 m East-West along the principal axis and the total length of the periphery of the fort wall measures 2140 m (Fig.8). The width and height of the western wing of the fort wall (Illn.A1) are in all respects more than those of the other three wings. Along the exterior slope end is a moat still extant at some points.
