The sides of the wall are tapering towards the top, rather more steeply (Fig.28). At the ground level and at the top its width is 4 m and 2 m respectively. The total height is 6 m. Thus there is some definite proportion in thinning width and height i.e. 1:2:3. The core of the wall consists of earth and rubble stones. - [Previous: c12.s5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c12.s5.2) - [Next: c12.s5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c12.s5.4) - [Up: c12.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c12.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c12.s5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c12.s5.3) · Pramāṇa
