The wall is zig-zag. It has main entrance looking north-east wards (Fig.37). The area therefore, enclosed by this wall, was meant for the rulers and their important officials. It measures 330 metres east-west, 440 metres north-south. This area can very well be enclosed by the second wall on the eastern side and therefore may be described as citadel. Here we get, / for the first time, a clear cut division of a fort and a citadel, within the fort. The wall originally was as wide as the outer wall on the eastern side (3.00 m) and similar in construction (Fig.35). - [Previous: c13.s1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c13.s1.7) - [Next: c13.s1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c13.s1.9) - [Up: c13.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c13.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c13.s1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c13.s1.8) · Pramāṇa
