The throne was made of wood and plated with gold. It was square in shape, resting on four feet.² The traditional Hindu throne was nine-storeyed but the idea does not appear to have found favour with the Sultans. Instead of the additional storeys for enhancing the splendour of a throne, the Sultans surrounded it with rich canopies, which will be referred to later.
