As already pointed out, the most characteristic feature of the planning of a Sabhā building is the abundant use of Pillars. In the first 5 buildings of the Sabhā called Nandā, Bhadrā, Jayā, Pūrṇā and Bhāvitā, pillars, as many as thirtysix, should be constructed in each of them and make them look like pillared halls with corridors and galleries all round supported by separate pillars. Thus the number of pillars still goes higher up.
