The next in order is the fort of Kubjaka town (Fig.89) - small town probably meant to be an official Headquarters. This type of fort is also generally located on the river side with oblong layout having partial octagonal projections on the river side. The main streets run across the principal axis with parallel lands dividing the habitation area into well aligned blocks. It recalls the layout of Harappan town (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5). At the centre is located as usual a temple surrounded by palace, office-buildings and mansions of the officers. In the next blocks of the next round are scattered Ministers, Brahmanas and soldiers. And in the remaining blocks are the public of different categories located in particular areas.
