The street towards jummā-masjid terminates at the street beside the fort wall on the western side i.e. on the bank of the river Kāginā. The other has two branches near the watch-tower, i.e. Uppli B^uṝj (Fig. 40), almost at the centre of the citadel, one running south-ward and terminating at the fort wall and another running west wards upto Kālī-masjid and again bifurcates into two running obliquely and terminating at the fort-wall. In between these streets, there are residential buildings in ruins. The area, bound by the south oriented street and south-west oriented street, is believed to contain the palace remains. At the point, where east oriented street bifurcates, is a mandapa, known as Akshōbhya Tīrth Mandapa (Fig. 40).
